The wine region of Monterey County

Californian cool-climate star (Central Coast): signature Pinot Noir as king red on Santa Lucia Highlands - concentrated and complex with notes of cherry, raspberry, plum, undergrowth and a spicy touch, silky tannins and preserved vibrant acidity. Racy, mineral Chardonnay (citrus, apple, white peach, hazelnut butter). Cabernet and Syrah on the warm side. ~40,000 ac of vines, Monterey Bay fogs and strong thermal swings shape benchmark cool-climate Pinots.


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: Polyphenols

Substance contained essentially in the skin of the grape. The main ones are anthocyanins, which give red wines their colour and tannins.
