About the region

California is the United States' most important wine-producing state, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The area extends more than 1,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south and contains 149 officially recognised AVAs spread across four main regions: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) and South Coast.

The climate is dominated by cool sea winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which give marked diurnal temperature swings and extended ripening. The soils are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate. The main varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. The style ranges widely from slender, acid-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal AVAs to full-bodied, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from warmer inland regions. The area is known as one of the world's most diverse and quality-focused wine landscapes.

Buy with confidence

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
