The wine region of Lake County
Northern California county (North Coast) at altitude around Clear Lake: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as the royal red — concentrated with notes of black cherry, plum, blackcurrant and a spicy herbal touch, firm tannins (flagship Red Hills). Signature Sauvignon Blanc as the royal white (Big Valley) — fresh and tropical with notes of citrus, yellow fruit, flint and flowers. Sun-loving Zinfandel and Syrah in support. AVA, red volcanic soils, altitude 400-800 m.
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: Ladle
