U.S. law allows a Napa Valley wine to be labeled according to grape variety if at least 75% of the grapes used belong to the grape variety in question - many Napa Valley wines labeled as Cabernet-Sauvignon thus often contain a share of Merlot, Cabernet-Franc, Durif or Syrah wines. Similarly, a wine can be labelled Napa Valley if at least 85% of the grapes come from the wine-growing region of the same name, allowing winemakers to source their blends from other, often lower-priced regions. \r\n","Napa Valley | Buy wine directly from California","4/5","See the 5 reviews","More information on the ","Buy the best Napa Valley wines in private sale!","Rated site","19677 notices","20€","Free on your 1st order*.","Access to sales!","Discover our selection of the best Napa Valley wine producers","See all estates","Our latest sales of Napa Valley wines","|","Red wine","Organic","California","carmenère","gracious","biodynamics","prestige","\"100/100 from Wine Enthusiast and 99/100 from James Suckling: Napa Valley biodynamics at the top of its game!\"","\"An exquisite wine that relies primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon from a single estate.

Napa Valley is an American wine region located in Napa County, California. It is considered one of the most prestigious wine-producing areas in the United States, with a viticultural heritage dating back to the 19th century. At the turn of the century, Napa Valley winemakers overcame the phylloxera crisis and alcohol prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933 to produce wines of the highest reputation.
The Napa Valley enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with oceanic influences, and a geology and topography conducive to the cultivation of quality vineyards.
The valley is home to 340 vineyards using a variety of grape varieties, including Cabernet-Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel. Most wineries produce a typical Napa Valley wine, and a few choose to blend their wines, using wines from the valley and surrounding hills. U.S. law allows a Napa Valley wine to be labeled according to grape variety if at least 75% of the grapes used belong to the grape variety in question - many Napa Valley wines labeled as Cabernet-Sauvignon thus often contain a share of Merlot, Cabernet-Franc, Durif or Syrah wines.
