The wine region of Santa Maria Valley
First AVA of Santa Barbara (1981) on an east-west valley swept by Pacific winds: signature Pinot Noir dominant as king red with herbaceous, savoury notes and lifted red fruits, fine acidity and silky tannins. Energetic Chardonnay with tropical and floral aromas, king whites (a third of production). Also Rhône Syrah and Viognier, confidential Grenache and Marsanne. Very cool climate over a long season, a Burgundian and northern-Rhône identity.
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: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
