The best wines from Napa Valley

Napa Valley has become an iconic symbol not only of California viticulture, but of viticulture in America. Stretching roughly 50 km from north to south and nestled between two mountain ranges, it produces a diverse range of exceptional wines. Its ideal natural conditions and varied microclimates play a pivotal role.

Napa Valley's diverse climates and soil types mean that there is no single style. With more than 400 wineries, the region offers a diverse selection of grape varieties, including more than three dozen varietals. It is famous for Cabernet Sauvignon, but also favours Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel and Merlot.

Napa Valley

History of wines from Napa Valley

Once overshadowed by Sonoma, Napa Valley's viticulture surged in the 1860s, driven by Charles Krug's Prussian immigrant. By 1876, Napa wines rivalled European counterparts. Challenges, including phylloxera, prohibition, economic crises, and World War II, stunted growth, allowing a handful of wineries to endure. Today, Napa Valley stands as one of the most renowned yet most expensive wine regions in the world.

The terroir of wines from Napa Valley

Commonly, highly porous, moisture-resistant soil with a loose, gravelly texture prevails, preserving grape integrity. Southern Napa Valley extends into Los Carneros, bordering San Pablo Bay, with significant coastal fog affecting sunshine and temperatures up to Yountville, creating a cool microclimate. The central section, encompassing Yountville through Rutherford and St. Helena to Freemark Abbey, experiences later-arriving fog and falls. Beyond Calistoga, as the valley ascends, the bay's influence diminishes. The southernmost, coolest zone suits Pinot Noir and Chardonnays.

 

Classifications of wines from Napa Valley
