Napa Valley is a big place
Whenever I am asked, "where should I go in Napa?", my response is to focus on a specific area within Napa. It makes the travel easier and you get to really get to know one area. Napa is a big place and it isn't as quaint as people imagine. The size is an advantage because it provides variety... it would be boring if all the views were the same, the wines were monotonous, and the people were similar wherever you went.I decided to post a quick note while I was reading this article about the various agriculturally divided areas. (AVAs are sub-regions that are defined by unique weather, soils, etc. Although it is often used as a marketing tool, the process is rigorous and new AVAs have to prove themselves.)
I think this type of information is great - knowing the theoretical terroir of an AVA and what types of wines/flavors it tends to produce - this makes it easier to get to know a region.
Interestingly, another winemaker/winery is taking the opposite approach - combining grapes from all over Napa to produce one wine. In a sense, this should represent the overall terroir of Napa. I think Neal Martin (formerly of wine-journal.com and now on-board with Robert Parker) would agree because he recently was discussing terroir on the Mark Squires bulletin board. His suggestion was that the major wines in Bordeaux do not display terroir because they de-classify (they do not include every barrel). This new Napa Valley wine is theoretically a disposition of Napa terroir because it has barrels from each area of the valley. Not sure if I agree with my own argument, but it is a hypothesis.
