From Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards are located just east of St. Helena in the Napa Valley where Conn Creek flows out of Howell Mountain. Twenty-six acres of vineyards, divided into nine blocks, along with a fifteen acre-foot resevour are the heart of this 40-acre grape-growing paradise.

Separated from the Napa Valley floor by a north/south running ridge, the world-renowned wineries of Joseph Heitz and Joseph Phelps are located on the west side of this ridge and the Anderson's Estate Vineyards are on the east side at a perfect elevation of 400 feet.

The vineyards not only enjoy Napa Valley's superb microclimate, but share the same Bale Loam Series as are found on the famous Rutherford Bench. This combination of clay-loam soil and microclimate produces up to 106 tons of exceptional fruit each year. One from which a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blend, called Éloge, can be artfully handcrafted.

While we have long been known for our 100% Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, we are fast becoming known for our Pinot Noir as well as our artfully crafted blends which include Éloge, Éloge Gold (the best of the best of our Éloge barrels) and our newest Bordaeaux-style blend, Right Bank.

Many of our winery visitors are quite surprised that in addition to our fine line-up of reds, we also make a richly-flavored, non-malolactic, full-bodied Chardonnnay, distinctly characterized by one well-known critic as the "best" Chardonnay he's ever tasted. Add to that, our sweet Late Harvest, and you'll understand why our visitors come back year after year after year.

At Anderson's Conn Valley Winery, we've made some remarkably fine wines even in years that the media has declared poor vintage years. A feat we attribute both to our special microclimate in Conn Valley, which is unique to Napa Valley, but also to our selectivity in what grapes are crushed in any given year.
