It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
