Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino/Lake, the Bay Area, Monterey, San Luis Obispo/Santa Barbara, Central Valley and Sierra Foothills are distinguished by marine influence, terrain, soils, varieties and production styles. Napa assemblage examples assign different sensory contributions to Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Sonoma Zinfandel and regional Pinot Noirs illustrate within-state variation.
