Winemaker Notes
The grapes for this wine are grown in the Fournier Vineyard in the Carneros region of the Napa Valley. It was barrel fermented and aged sur lees, with regular stirring, in 100% new French oak. It was racked off the lees after 10 months and returned to the barrels for an additional 5 months of aging before bottling. The wine was not allowed to go through malolactic fermentation, which helps the wine to retain good acidity and natural balance.
Professional Ratings
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
