California 128 begins at its junction with California 1 near Albion, follows the Navarro River inland southeast toward Philo and Boonville, and joins southbound U.S. 101 at Cloverdale. U.S. 101 and California 128 remain merged from Cloverdale south to Geyserville (at the junction with Sonoma County Route C-1), and California 128 continues southeast to meet California 29 at Calistoga. From Calistoga, California 29 and 128 together serve the northern half of Napa Valley, and California 128 heads east on its own at Rutherford, south of St. Helena. Skirting the south shore of Lake Berryessa, California 128 ends at its junction with Interstate 505 in Winters. Plans call for an extension of California 128 from Winters to Interstate 80 between Davis and West Sacramento.
