Eloge Napa Valley

History
Tucked into the rolling hills of Conn Valley just minutes from downtown St. Helena, Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards is a family-owned Napa Valley estate known by collectors as one of the region's true hidden gems! Founded in 1983 by Todd and his parents, Gus and Phyllis, our winery sits on a 40-acre estate vineyard in the eastern hills of Napa Valley, where volcanic soils, native flora, and several distinctive microclimates create ideal conditions for crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends. These small-lot, handcrafted wines are celebrated for their depth, elegance, silky tannins, and remarkable age-worthiness.

Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot
