Oakville

One of the most highly esteemed wine districts in the United States, Oakville is at the heart of the Napa Valley and is renowned for its red dirt and near-perfect climate. Warmer than Yountville and Stag's Leap but cooler than Rutherford, producers in Oakville can craft deeply flavored wines full of nuance. Merlot and Zinfandel thrive here, but the standout grape is, of course, Cabernet Sauvignon. Oakville has a surprisingly large concentration of producers making "cult status" Cab Sauv with loyal followers. The AVA's zingy, tropical-tasting Chardonnay and zesty Sauvignon Blanc are also highlights.
