Winemaker Notes
This wine is bursting with flinty almost smokey notes, minerals, green apple, Meyer lemon, Bartlett pear, white flowers, and spices.
The winery inhibits malolactic fermentation, so the aromatics are not muted by overbearing buttery notes. The palate follows the nose, and is bright with crisp acidity, but isn't lean due to barrel fermentation and lees exposure. Green apple and citrus mingle with toasty notes from the barrel. This is one of the best efforts we have had to date with our Chardonnay.

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 reservoir 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.
