The wine region of Edna Valley

First AVA of San Luis Obispo (1982) parallel to the coast over 10 miles: Chardonnay signature king white and Pinot Noir king red — cool climate and long season giving fine wines with moderate alcohol (13. 5-14. 2°) and pronounced acidity. Green apple, Meyer citrus, stone fruit and saline minerality on Chardonnays, fresh cherry and sweet spice on Pinot Noirs.


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: Rosé (champagne)

Unique rosé wine made by blending white wine with a small amount of red Champagne. It is however possible to vinify the must directly into rosé.
