Dutch Henry Winery First to Label Wines with
New "100 percent Napa Valley" Certification Mark

Dutch Henry Winery made history on May 14, 2003, when it became the first winery to bottle and release wines incorporating the "100 percent Napa Valley" Certification Mark on its wine labels. The front labels of Dutch Henry's 2001 Napa Valley Northfork Cabernet Sauvignon, 2001 Napa Valley Merlot and 2001 Napa Valley Argos Meritage include the 100 percent Napa Valley Certification Mark, which indicates that 100 percent of the grapes used to produce that wine were grown in Napa Valley and that 100 percent of the winemaking - from the crushing of grapes to the bottling of wine - occurred in Napa Valley.

Use of the 100 percent Napa Valley Certification Mark on wine labels is a fundamental component of the newly established 100 percent Napa Valley Certification Program administered by the Napa Valley Vintners Association to preserve the integrity of the Napa Valley appellation and eliminate confusion in the wine marketplace.

Dutch Henry Winery is small winery owned and operated by the Chafen family, which has grown grapes in Napa Valley for 20 years. With an annual production of approximately 4,800 cases, Dutch Henry specializes in limited lots of ultra-premium wines, including Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Meritage, Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah and Chardonnay.
