The wine region of Dunnigan Hills

AVA of northwest Yolo County (1993, central California) on low hills at 400 ft: hot Mediterranean climate (95–98°F days, 55–65°F nights) suited to heat-loving varieties — Tempranillo, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay also notable. Iron-rich gravelly loam soils from the Dunnigan Hills fault, concentrated and intensely aromatic fruit. Sacramento Valley, 1,300+ acres planted.


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: Ban des vendanges

Date of the beginning of the grape harvest, fixed by the lord in the tradition of the Middle Ages and, today, by the prefect.
