The wine region of Amador County

Historic heart of Californian Zinfandel in the Sierra Foothills (Gold Country): signature Zinfandel as king red (old vines >100 years) — powerful and spicy with notes of candied blackberry, plum, raspberry, black cherry, pepper and a cocoa touch, round tannins and generous alcohols (14-16%). Rhône grapes (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier) as sunny backup, Italian (Sangiovese, Barbera). Hot high-altitude climate (300-600 m), decomposed granitic soils.


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: Cordon de Royat (size in)

Short trellised pruning with one or two horizontal arms stretched over a wire. Very suitable for mechanization, it offers a very good exposure of the bunches as well as an excellent aeration.
