ESTABLISHMENT OF OAK KNOLL DISTRICT OF NAPA VALLEY VITICULTURAL AREA


Washington, D.C. – The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) published Treasury decision (T.D. TTB-9) in the Federal register on February 25, 2004. This final rule establishes the "Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley" viticultural area in Napa County, California. This new viticultural area is entirely within the established Napa Valley viticultural area and covers approximately 8,300 acres. The establishment of viticultural areas allows wineries to describe more accurately where their wines come from and enables consumers to better identify the wines they purchase.

This final rule is effective on April 26, 2004.
