Regrann from @vjnapa - #FunNapaFact: Of the 16 approved AVAs within the Napa Valley AVA, the following are the most popular and account for some of the greatest wines and diverse micro-climates in Napa . Oakville - home to the most coveted wines of any AVA like Screaming Eagle, any wine from the To Kalon vineyard, Harlan Estate and Opus One . Rutherford - Soulful wines that reveal a specific “dusty” terroir in the character of the texture and tannin, a direct reflection of the dusty soils common in Rutherford . St. Helena - The “Up Valley” civic anchor of Napa, it is home to the oldest Napa winery (Charles Krug), great restaurants, and some of the best and oldest wineries like Berringer, Spottswoode, Corison, and Joseph Phelps . Stag’s Leap - The terroir here is unique in that it is virtually all volcanic and alluvial soils, creating signature velvety Stag’s Leap tannin. The “SLD” is home to Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Shafer, and Regusci to name just a few . Carneros - The southernmost and coolest AVA in Napa and the source of the majority of the white wines and sparkling wines bearing the Napa Valley designation on its label. . Howell Mountain - Boasting many of greatest wines and wineries in Napa, the Howell Mtn. AVA has some of the most loyal fans of the great wines like: Dunn, Lail, La Jota, Foley, Cimarossa, and O'Shaughnessy . Spring Mountain - Another great mountain AVA that is home to the amazing wineries like Philip Togni, Pride, Stony Hill, Paloma, Sherwin, and Smith-Madrone. . Calistoga - The warmest and furthest north of the Napa AVA, Chateau Montelena, Larkmead, Schramsberg, Carter, and Frank Family are just a few of the great wineries that call it home. - Posted by @WineSolutions .
