Napa Valley

Napa Valley, California, is renowned for its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and ripe expressions of Bordeaux varietals. Its warm Mediterranean climate is buffered by fog originating from the San Pablo Bay that creates stratified temperature zones diminishing in effect with distance. Its soils are some of the most diverse out of any wine-growing region in the world having sedimentary deposits from the Vaca Mountains and volcanic deposits from the Mayacamas Mountains. Its success, in its relatively short history, is partly due to its innovative spirit cultivated in partnership with its neighbor, UC Davis.
