Shop Regions: California Wines

"California has been on the wine world's map seriously since the judgement of paris in 1976. Ever since those California wines beat out some of the best in the world, they've been paying close attention to the region. Stylistically very bold and fruit forward as a generality, there is a substantial amount of variation from region to region. Whether its central coast wines with their huge ripeness and audacity, or Mendocino and beyond producing cooler climate, restrained and elegant wines that sometimes need decades to mature--California runs the whole spectrum."
