Paseante Noir is a newly bred interspecific grape cross developed in the United States, registered with both VIVC and Foundation Plant Services under its own name. It is the newest variety in California's planting records, appearing only in the 2025 survey with 54 total acres and 12 bearing acres spread across Mendocino, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. No crush data exist yet for it, consistent with vines too young to have produced a reportable harvest. As one of the atlas's freshest entries, its California story so far is entirely about planting, not yet about wine.
