Napa Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA)
Though just 30 miles long and a few miles wide, Napa Valley is home to diverse microclimates and soils uniquely suited to the cultivation of a variety of fine wine grapes. Among the internationally acclaimed wines produced in this small region are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc.
Yountville AVA
Yountville was approved as the 11th sub appellation of the Napa Valley in 1998 and is comprised of 8,620 acres.. Although recently established, this appellation boasts a rich history -- the first vineyards in the Napa Valley were planted here by George Yount in the mid-1800s in the areas now known as Yount Mill and Napanook. Today this rich patchwork of varied soils and microclimates allows us to cultivate a wide range of wine varietals, from delicate Sauvignon Blancs to robust Cabernets and Petit Syrahs.
