High Valley Appellation, Lake County, CA

1^st Time to be to be offered in Green Bay

          Simply put, there is no other grape-growing site on Earth quite like High Valley Appellation. Located within Lake County CA, which is north of Napa and east of Mendocino, and about two hours from San Francisco.

          On August 1, 2005, High Valley was designated an American Viticultural Area (AVA), making it one California's newest Appellations. This heavenly spot measures just a mile wide and five miles long, running east to west unlike other coastal valleys. Yet High Valley's unique combination of volcanic and alluvial soils, combined with myriad microclimates, makes it one of the finest spots in the world to cultivate premium-quality grapes.

High Valley's unique geological creation resulting from numerous volcanic eruptions and subsequent thousands of years of erosion has created an abundant of distinctive characteristics:

• Topography - A valley floor of 1,800 feet with High Valley ridges
  rising above 3,000 feet
• Geology - An East–West valley unique to California Coastal Range
• Soils - Volcanic soils on the hillsides while alluvial fans and benches
  on the valley floor
• Microclimates - Ranging as low as Region 2 and as high as Region 4
  with temperature swings of 40 to 50 degrees during the growing season

Some refer to Lake County as the “New Napa North”. High Valley AVA currently hosts three winery’s, with Brassfield being the first in distribution. At this point in time High Valley is basically undisturbed and under commercialized as far as wine tourism is involved which has lead it to being undiscovered.
