The St. Helena Viticultural Area states:
"At the end of the 1879 vintage the San Francisco Post ran an article on northern California wines which noted the flavor characteristics of Napa clarets. This article was copied by the St. Helena Star which predicted that there would be 2,000 acres of grapes planted in the Napa Valley in 1880. According to Mr. Sullivan, the final total was closer to 3,000, and concentrated in the St. Helena area.
