Abstract
This Treasury decision establishes the Rockpile viticultural area in northwestern Sonoma County, CA. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms believes the establishment of viticultural areas and the subsequent use of viticultural area names as appellations of origin in wine labeling and advertising help consumers identify the wines they may purchase. This also allows wineries to better designate the specific grape-growing area in which the grapes used in their wine were grown.
