California's regions in one paragraph

Napa Valley is Cabernet Sauvignon country: rich, powerful and priced accordingly. Sonoma County is more varied — Russian River Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Alexander Valley Cabernet, Dry Creek Zinfandel — and often better value. Paso Robles makes ripe, generous reds; the Central Coast and Monterey supply much of the state's good everyday Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; Lodi is the home of old-vine Zinfandel. A wine labeled simply 'California' blends fruit from several of them and is usually the most affordable option.

Sunshine is the constant. California wines are riper, fruitier and softer than their European counterparts, which is why they are so easy to enjoy young.

Frequently asked questions

What is California's best-known wine?
Cabernet Sauvignon, especially from Napa Valley. Chardonnay is the state's most planted white grape and Pinot Noir its fastest-growing red.
What does 'California' on a label mean?
That the grapes came from anywhere in the state. Named appellations such as Napa Valley or Sonoma County are more specific and usually cost more.
