Napa Valley
American Viticultural AreaEstablished 1981
Napa Valley runs approximately 35 miles through a narrow valley north of San Pablo Bay, legally defined as an American Viticultural Area since 1981 under 27 CFR Part 9. The valley's north-to-south orientation creates significant temperature variation, with warmer conditions near Calistoga and cooler, fog-influenced conditions toward Carneros in the south. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates label filings from this appellation in the TTB COLA registry.
Wine Grabber Registry
No explicit Wine Grabber COLA record matches are currently linked for this AVA.
Wine Grabber links COLA records to AVA pages only when the public TTB registry data explicitly identifies the appellation. State-level records (California, Oregon, Washington, etc.) are not counted as AVA matches even when the producer is located in the appellation.
