The wine region of Marin County
Californian AVA north of the Golden Gate (~80 ha, Pacific to the west, San Francisco and San Pablo bays to the south-east, one of California's coolest, persistent fogs): Pinot Noir is the signature red — vibrant natural acidity, moderate alcohol, wild berries and vivid cherry, concentrated complexity preserved by slow ripening. Precise Chardonnay as complement, mild winters and a long season highlighting finesse in the cool marine climate.
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).
