The wine region of Clarksburg
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta AVA (California) cooled by the Delta Breeze: signature Chenin Blanc as king white — whites with chiseled acidity and honeyed notes, white fruits and floral touches, signature local balance. Plump and tannic Petite Sirah as king red on hot days — concentration of black fruits and spices. 35+ grape varieties grown on fertile alluvial soils, ~40°F temperature swing preserving acidity, fresh identity atypical in Central Valley.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
