DropCap Suisun Valley, an appellation committed to growing ultra premium wine grapes, has a history that dates back to the 1800s. It has always been, and continues to be, a winegrape-grower driven appellation, versus a winery showcase destination. Today, the valley has approximately 2,000 planted acres, with additional scheduled replant activity slated for 2009. The Suisun Valley AVA was established in 1982.
