Spring Mountain

Spring Mountain District is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in the Napa County, California. It was established on May 13, 1993 as Napa's seventh AVA by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Michael Marston of Marston Vineyards and Fritz Maytag of York Creek Vineyards, on behalf of local vintners proposing viticultural area in Napa County to be known as "Spring Mountain District." The viticultural area encompasses about 8,600 acres (13.4 sq mi) and at the outset, cultivated approximately 1,000 acres (400 ha) on over thirty vineyards. Spring Mountain District lies entirely as a sub-appellation within Napa Valley AVA. The terrain consists primarily of east-facing slopes of varying steepness, ranging in elevation from 400 to 2,600 feet (120–790 m). Given the small crop yields on hillsides, the region represents less than 2% of Napa Valley wine.
