The wine region of Santa Maria Valley
First AVA of Santa Barbara (1981) on an east-west valley swept by Pacific winds: signature Pinot Noir dominant as king red with herbaceous, savoury notes and lifted red fruits, fine acidity and silky tannins. Energetic Chardonnay with tropical and floral aromas, king whites (a third of production). Also Rhône Syrah and Viognier, confidential Grenache and Marsanne. Very cool climate over a long season, a Burgundian and northern-Rhône identity.
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: Courgée
Name of the fruiting branch left after pruning and which is then arched along the trellis in the Jura (in the Mâconnais, it is called the tail).
