Regions vary greatly from the northern most vineyards in the states of  Washington and Oregon to the southern most regions in California.  There are also many diverse viticultural areas  with wide ranges in soil types and weather conditions.

Cabernet Sauvignon is still one of the kings here but Pinot Noir and Syrah have increased their presence and quality exponentially in the past few years.  Merlot plantings have continued to increase and as a result we are seeing a lot more Bordeaux styled blends as well.

Zinfandel continues to attract it's fair share of fans and then there are also a number of less planted varietals that are of major interest.  These would include wines such as Petite Sirah, Grenache and the Cal-Italia wines, Sangiovese and Barbera.

It's always interesting to see what will be next for red wines on the American landscape.  You never know when someone will plant and successfully cultivate something unexpected like Tempranillo or Nebbiolo.

We do our best to bring you the great old stand-bys while keeping our eyes open for the newer wines that deserve your recognition.
