"Very tannic. Very concentrated . . . . A sort of Vega Sicilia style of winemaking. Long, dense, amazing that it should still have this vigour - what would it have been like at only 30 years old?! (And even that would be pre-Sergeant Pepper.) A glimpse of another era. Intriguing . . . compelling."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A large, geographically varied California region producing cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast and richer Zinfandel and Cabernet inland. Its wines range from elegant to bold.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
