Lake County

It might be called Lake County, but it is actually volcanoes that give this rugged northern California region its distinct terroir. Part of the North Coast AVA, Lake County lies just north of Napa. Ancient, mineral-rich soils help deliver bold but impressively elegant reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, and whites like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The vines benefit from the maritime conditions around Clear Lake—California's largest body of fresh water. Its influence brings low nighttime temperatures to balance the hot days, slowing the grapes' ripening and producing wines with intensely concentrated flavors.
