California’s newest AVA—Crystal Springs—joins the lineup of Napa’s most rugged and respected regions. Known for its volcanic soils and elevated terrain, it shares a border with Howell Mountain and brings new definition to mountain-grown Cabernet.

Alongside Crystal Springs, we’re highlighting top bottles from Napa’s most celebrated mountain AVAs: Mount Veeder, Atlas Peak, Spring Mountain, Diamond Mountain District, Howell Mountain, Chiles Valley, and Wild Horse Valley. These are wines shaped by altitude, sun exposure, and rocky soils—built to age and built to impress.

Each bottle here represents the focused intensity and structure that make mountain fruit stand apart.
