California grape varieties

California Cabernet Sauvignon expresses power and opulence: concentrated black fruits, notes of vanilla and sweet spices from the wood, velvety tannins. Perfect with grilled steaks, rosemary lamb, and aged American cheeses.
Chardonnay from the West Coast seduces with its richness and complexity: butter, vanilla, ripe tropical fruit, and minerality. The ideal pairing for lobster, grilled salmon, and creamy risottos.
Pinot Noir from cool areas such as Russian River Valley and Santa Barbara County surprises with its elegance: cherry, undergrowth, sweet spices, and a finesse that rivals the best French Burgundies.
