California — Four Regions, One Grape, Endless Variety

California produces more different styles of Pinot Noir than anywhere else in the New World — and understanding why requires understanding the geography. Today's episode walks through the four major California Pinot Noir regions: Russian River Valley's silky, strawberry-scented style; the wild, windswept Sonoma Coast; Santa Barbara's two very different valleys; and the cool, foggy Santa Cruz Mountains. Four regions, four personalities, one grape.
