Colourful, structured reds with a deep purple robe, firm, tight tannins and an ample palate with preserved acidity, featuring signature aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), red pepper and herbaceous notes typical of the Cabernet family. Age-worthy profile. Almost gone from commercial cultivation, preserved in varietal collections for its great genetic value. French autochthonous black variety from the South-West, parent of Carménère (crossed with Cabernet Franc).

The wine region of Central Coast

Vast Californian coast (450 km) cooled by Pacific fogs. Cradle of great coastal Pinots and Chardonnays: fine silky Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth) on Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Maria and Santa Lucia Highlands; ample taut Chardonnay, yellow fruit and saline minerality. Also spicy peppery Syrah, structured Cabernet and jammy Zinfandel on Paso Robles.

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).
