Sec.  9.160  Yountville.

    (a) Name. The name of the viticultural area described in this 
section is ``Yountville.''
    (b) Approved maps. The appropriate maps for determining the boundary 
of the Yountville viticultural area are four 1:24,000 Scale U.S.G.S. 
topography maps. They are titled:
    (1) Napa, CA 1951 photorevised 1980;
    (2) Rutherford, CA 1951 photorevised 1968;
    (3) Sonoma, CA 1951 photorevised 1980;
    (4) Yountville, CA 1951 photorevised 1968.
    (c) Boundary. The Yountville viticultural area is located in the 
State of California, entirely within the Napa Valley viticultural area. 
The boundaries of the Yountville viticultural area, using landmarks and 
points of reference found on appropriate U.S.G.S. maps are as follows:
    (1) Beginning on the Rutherford quadrangle map at the intersection 
of the 500 foot contour line with an unnamed stream known locally as 
Hopper Creek north of the center of Section 3, T6N, R5W, Mount Diablo 
Meridan (MDM);
    (2) Then along the unnamed stream (Hopper Creek) southeasterly, and 
at the fork in Section 3, northeasterly along the stream to the point 
where the stream intersects with an unnamed dirt road in the northwest 
corner of Section 2, T6N, R5W, MDM;
    (3) Then in a straight line to the light duty road to the immediate 
northeast in Section 2, then along the light duty road in a 
northeasterly direction to the point at which the road turns 90 degrees 
to the left;
    (4) Then northerly along the light duty road 625 feet, then 
northeasterly (N 40[deg] by 43[min]) in a straight line 1,350 feet, 
along the northern property line of Assessor's Parcel Number 27-380-08, 
to State Highway 29, then continuing in a straight line approximately 
500 feet to the peak of the 320 plus foot hill along the western edge of 
the Yountville hills;
    (5) Then east to the second 300 foot contour line, then along said 
contour line around the Yountville hills to the north to the point at 
which the 300 foot line exits the Rutherford quadrangle for the second 
time;
    (6) Then, on the Yountville quadrangle map, in a straight line in a 
northeasterly direction approximately N34[deg] by 30[min] E 
approximately 1,000 feet to the 90 degree bend in the unimproved dirt 
road shown on the map, then along that road, which coincides with a 
fence line to the intersection of Conn Creek and Rector Creek;
    (7) Then along Rector Creek to the northeast past Silverado Trail to 
the Rector Reservoir spillway entrance, then south approximately 100 
feet to the 400 foot contour line, then southerly along the 400 foot 
contour line approximately 4200 feet to the intersection with a gully in 
section 30, T7N, R4W, MDM;
    (8) Then southwesterly down the center of the gully approximately 
800 feet to the medium duty road known as Silverado Trail, then 
southeasterly along the Silverado Trail approximately 590 feet to the 
medium duty road known locally Yountville Cross Road;
    (9) Then southwesterly along the Yountville Cross Road (denoted as 
GRANT BDY on the map) approximately 4,700 feet to the main branch of the 
Napa River, then following the western boundary of the Stags Leap 
District viticultural area, first southerly down the center of the Napa 
River approximately 21,000 feet, then leaving the Napa River 
northeasterly in a straight line approximately 900 feet to the 
intersection of the Silverado Trail with an intermittent stream at the 
60 foot contour line in T6N, R4W, MDM;
    (10) Then along the Silverado Trail southerly approximately 3,200 
feet, passing into the Napa quadrangle, to a point which is east of the 
confluence of Dry Creek with the Napa River; then

west approximately 600 feet to said confluence; then northwesterly along 
Dry Creek approximately 3,500 feet, passing into the Yountville 
quadrangle to a fork in the creek; then northwesterly along the north 
fork of Dry Creek approximately 5,700 feet to the easterly end of the 
light duty road labeled Ragatz Lane;
    (11) Then southwesterly along Ragatz Lane to the west side of State 
Highway 29, then southerly along Highway 29 by 982 feet to the easterly 
extension of the north line boundary of Napa County Assessor's parcel 
number 034-170-015, then along the north line of APN 034-170-015 and its 
extension westerly 3,550 feet to the dividing line Between R4W and R5W 
on the Napa quadrangle, then southwesterly approximately 1000 feet to 
the peak denoted as 564 (which is about 5,500 feet easterly of the 
northwest corner of the Napa quadrangle); then southwesterly 
approximately 4,000 feet to the peak northeast of the reservoir gauging 
station denoted as 835;
    (12) Then southwesterly approximately 1,500 feet to the reservoir 
gauging station, then west to the 400 foot contour line on the west side

point where the contour intersects the north line of Section 10. T6N, 
R5W, MDM, immediately adjacent to Dry Creek on the Rutherford, CA map;
    (13) Then northwesterly along Dry Creek approximately 6,500 feet to 
BM503, then northeasterly approximately 3,000 feet to the peak denoted
