- (a) **Name.** The name of the viticultural area described in this section is “Stags Leap District.”
- (b) **Approved map.** The appropriate map for determining the boundaries of the Stags Leap District viticultural area is one U.S.G.S. topographic map in the 7.5 minute series, scaled 1:24000, titled “Yountville, Calif.,” 1951 (photorevised 1968).
- (c) **Boundaries.** The Stags Leap District viticultural area is located in Napa County, California, within the Napa Valley viticultural area. The boundaries are as follows:
  - (1) Commencing at the intersection of the intermittent stream (drainage creek) with the Silverado Trail at the 60 foot contour line in T6N/R4W, approximately 7 miles north of the city of Napa.
  - (2) **Then southwest in a straight line, approximately 900 feet, to the main channel of the Napa River.**
  - (3) Then following the main branch of the Napa River (not the southern branch by the levee) in a northwesterly then northerly direction, until it intersects the medium-duty road (Grant Bdy) in T7N/R4W, known locally as the Yountville Cross Road.
  - (4) Then northeast along the Yountville Cross Road until it intersects the medium-duty road, the Silverado Trail.
  - (5) Then north along the Silverado Trail approximately 590 feet to a gully entering the Silverado Trail from the east.
  - (6) Then northeast along the center line of that gully, approximately 800 feet, until it intersects the 400 foot contour line in [Section 30](/cfr/27/30.md) of T7N/R4W.
  - (7) Then in a generally southeast direction, following the 400 foot contour line through Sections [29](/cfr/27/29.md), [32](/cfr/27/32.md), [33](/cfr/27/33.md), [4](/cfr/27/4.md), and [3](/cfr/27/3.md), until it intersects the intermittent stream in the southwest corner of [Section 3](/cfr/27/3.md) in T6N/R4W.
  - (8) Then in a generally southwest direction along that intermittent stream to the beginning point, at the intersection with the Silverado Trail.
