Contra Costa County

Known locally as "Napa before there was Napa'" due to its pre-Prohibition glory, Contra Costa is famous for its rustic red wines crafted from grapes grown on century-old vines. This AVA sits just across the bay from San Francisco, where afternoon breezes temper the hot climate. The huge shift from hot days to cool nights helps to slow ripening, so the grapes develop juicy, complex flavors without losing their zippy acidity. Here, the main grapes you will find are Zinfandel, Mourvèdre and Carignan, producing bold wines with an earthy, gamey flavor and lots of mouth-filling tannins.
