The wine region of Santa Clara County

California Central Coast county (San Francisco Bay AVA, rich alluvial soils, dry Mediterranean climate, Santa Cruz Mountains shield from Pacific breezes): Cabernet Sauvignon signature red (25%) — robust with rich dark fruit and firm tannins. Pinot Noir (19%) in the cooler Hecker Pass zone, Chardonnay (17%), Zinfandel and Syrah as complements, 19th-century wine heritage.


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: Broker

In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
