North Coast

**North Coast** ... — a wine region in the United States, referring to the coastal counties of California north of San Francisco Bay, home to renowned areas such as Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino. It is among the country's premier fine-wine zones. **Wines & grapes** — an extensive range topped by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, alongside Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. **Character** — cool marine air and fog off the Pacific moderate what would otherwise be a hot climate, creating many distinct microclimates within one large appellation. The result runs from bright, fresh whites and elegant Pinot Noir near the coast to rich, structured Cabernet in warmer inland valleys.
