Abstract
This final rule establishes a viticultural area located within the east central interior portion of Mendocino County, California to be known as ``Redwood Valley,'' under 27 CFR part 9. This is the result of a petition submitted by Mr. Timothy R. Buckner and prepared by Mr. Buckner, Mr. Jefferson Hinchliffe, Mr. Ulysses Lolonis, and Mr. Rudolph H. Light. The petition was signed by 20 growers and winemakers in ``Redwood Valley.'' In addition, 4 letters of support for the area were received with the petition from growers and winemakers in the area. ``Redwood Valley'' is an unincorporated rural community in Mendocino County of northwestern California with approximately 6,000 people spread out over about 35 square miles. It is currently the home of seven wineries that produce varietal wines distributed around the world. There are 66 vineyard owners farming 2,371 acres of wine grapes.
