Title: Proposed Establishment of the Leona Valley Viticultural Area 
Abstract: Mr. Ralph Jens Carter, on behalf of the Antelope Valley Winegrowers Association, Leona Valley Vineyards, and Donato Vineyards, submitted the 8,600-acre Leona Valley viticultural area petition. The region currently includes 20 vineyard acres with more under development. The "Leona Valley" name comes from early Nebraska settlers of the area. The proposed boundary reflects the valley floor and some side slopes with potential or established viticulture. Distinguishing features include the physical characteristics of the San Andreas Fault system and a fault-controlled valley terrain surrounded by significantly higher mountain elevations. Also, the geology, soil, and climate distinguish the region from areas beyond the proposed boundary.
