Background on Viticultural Areas
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
TTB Authority
Section 105(e) of the Federal Alcohol
Administration Act (FAA Act), 27
U.S.C. 205(e), authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury to prescribe regulations
for the labeling of wine, distilled spirits,
and malt beverages. The FAA Act
requires that these regulations, among
other things, prohibit consumer
deception and the use of misleading
statements on labels, and ensure that
labels provide the consumer with
adequate information as to the identity
and quality of the product. The Alcohol
and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
(TTB) administers the regulations
promulgated under the FAA Act.
Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR
part 4) allows the establishment of
definitive viticultural areas and the use
of their names as appellations of origin
on wine labels and in wine
advertisements. Part 9 of the TTB
regulations (27 CFR part 9) contains the
list of approved viticultural areas.
Definition
Section 4.25(e)(1)(i) of the TTB
regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(1)(i)) defines
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:46 Nov 02, 2010
Jkt 223001
a viticultural area for American wine as
a delimited grape-growing region
distinguishable by geographical
features, the boundaries of which have
been recognized and defined in part 9
of the regulations. These designations
allow vintners and consumers to
attribute a given quality, reputation, or
other characteristic of a wine made from
grapes grown in an area to its
geographical origin. The establishment
of viticultural areas allows vintners to
describe more accurately the origin of
their wines to consumers and helps
consumers to identify wines they may
purchase. Establishment of a viticultural
area is neither an approval nor an
endorsement by TTB of the wine
produced in that area.
Requirements
Section 4.25(e)(2) of the TTB
regulations outlines the procedure for
proposing an American viticultural area
and provides that any interested party
may petition TTB to establish a grapegrowing region as a viticultural area.
Section 9.3(b) of the TTB regulations
requires the petition to include—
• Evidence that the proposed
viticultural area is locally and/or
nationally known by the name specified
in the petition;
• Historical or current evidence that
supports setting the boundary of the
proposed viticultural area as the
petition specifies;
• Evidence relating to the
geographical features, such as climate,
soils, elevation, and physical features
that distinguish the proposed
viticultural area from surrounding areas;
• A description of the specific
boundary of the proposed viticultural
area, based on features found on United
States Geological Survey (USGS) maps;
and
• A copy of the appropriate USGS
map(s) with the proposed viticultural
area’s boundary prominently marked.
Yamhill-Carlton District Viticultural
Area Background
In 2002, TTB’s predecessor Agency,
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms, received a petition from Mr.
Alex Sokol-Blosser, Secretary of the
North Willamette Valley [American
Viticultural Area] Group, and Mr. Ken
Wright, on behalf of certain grape
growers, to establish a new viticultural
area called the ‘‘Yamhill-Carlton
District.’’ Located in northwestern
Oregon, the Yamhill-Carlton District is
about 35 miles southwest of Portland,
Oregon, and 25 miles from the Pacific
Ocean, in Yamhill and Washington
Counties, Oregon, and entirely within
PO 00000
Frm 00028

Sfmt 4700
the larger Willamette Valley viticultural
area (27 CFR 9.90).
On October 7, 2003, TTB published in
the Federal Register (68 FR 57845)
Notice No. 19, proposing the
establishment of the Yamhill-Carlton
District viticultural area. In response to
that notice, the only comment TTB
received was in support of the proposed
establishment. On December 9, 2004,
TTB published in the Federal Register
(69 FR 71372) Treasury Decision (T.D.)
TTB–20, establishing the YamhillCarlton District viticultural area (27 CFR
9.183) as proposed.
T.D. TTB–20 states that the YamhillCarlton District viticultural area
boundary line surrounds the towns of
Yamhill and Carlton, which lie 3 miles
apart, along Route 47, in Yamhill
County. The ‘‘Name Evidence’’ section
states that the first time the two names
were used together was in the 1853
establishment of the Yamhill-Carlton
Pioneer Cemetery. The cemetery is
identified on the USGS Carlton
Quadrangle map (published in 1957;
revised in 1992). The name was used
again in 1955, when the YamhillCarlton Union High School was
established in the Yamhill-Carlton
School District. Residents still use the
‘‘Yamhill-Carlton’’ name today.
Petition To Change to the YamhillCarlton District Viticultural Area Name
In 2008, Mr. Ken Wright, of Ken
Wright Cellars, submitted a petition to
TTB to change the name of the
viticultural area from ‘‘Yamhill-Carlton
District’’ to ‘‘Yamhill-Carlton.’’ In this
petition, Mr. Wright asserts that when
the viticultural area was originally
proposed ‘‘[t]he inclusion of the word
‘District’ was completely discretionary
and added only to enforce the idea of
the AVA [American viticultural area]
being a regionalized area.’’ Further, he
states that ‘‘[h]istorically, the area has
always been referred to as simply
‘Yamhill-Carlton.’ Additionally, the
length of the current name is very
difficult to fit on a [wine] label. Many
wineries have found it impossible, given
their current label graphics, to utilize
the name.’’
Many others joined Mr. Wright,
writing letters included with the
petition, in support of renaming the
Yamhill-Carlton District viticultural
area as the Yamhill-Carlton viticultural
area. Kathie Oriet, Mayor of the city of
Carlton, Oregon, wrote: ‘‘As Mayor of
the small city of Carlton, I feel the
