The best wineries in Napa
and their wine clubs
The
best wineries Napa match the right variety of grape to the terroir of their
vineyard, tend the vines lovingly and harvest the grapes at the best possible
moment. A lot of them have wine caves that keep the wine barrels in a cool and
humid environment. Many of the best wineries in Napa have wine clubs, which you
can join and be invited to wine tastings.
One of the best wineries in Napa
near St. Helena
Anderson’s
Conn Valley Vineyards in Napa Valley, a 10-minute drive from downtown St.
Helena, is one of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley area. The Conn Valley
Cabernet has been rated one of the top Cabernets in the world since the
inaugural vintage of 1987. The fruit is more similar to mountain fruit than
valley floor fruit, and the style is more Bordeaux in style than other Napa Cabs,
with more dark fruit and a very refreshing finish that makes it perfect for
food pairing. The Conn Valley Cabernet is a chef-style wine, because chefs find
it easy to pair this wine with just about anything. Robert Parker’s Wine
Advocate praises the 2012 vintage for its “terrific
purity, plenty of depth and ripeness, and a full-bodied mouthfeel” and
describes the 2010 Cab as “an elegant, finesse-styled effort to enjoy
over the next decade.” They also offer Estate and Signature Cabs, which are of
particularly high quality. Wine club members save $25 on the 2013 Signature
Cabernet Sauvignon online. If you’re looking for a good wine to serve at a
special occasion, order a bottle today.
