Napa wine

Valley vineyard product

Wine produced in California's Napa Valley, one of the world's premier wine regions.

Napa wines—especially Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay—command premium prices and compete with top French vintages.

The region's reputation was cemented when Napa wines beat French competitors in the 1976 "Judgment of Paris" tasting: They opened a nice Napa wine for dinner.
