A winery near St. Helena
Some
of the best California wines come from Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards in Napa
Valley. Just a 10-minute drive from downtown St. Helena, Anderson’s Conn Valley
Vineyards produces world-class wines at affordable prices. The vineyard is a
40-acre estate just south of Howell Mountain. The grapes they grow are closer
to mountain grapes than the grapes in the St. Helena AVA proper. At the
vineyard, you have the chance to meet the owners and wine-makers and taste
excellent wine stored in a cave.
Anderson’s
Conn Valley Vineyards produces an Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2012
Estate Reserve might be their best ever. The growing season of this dark purple
and red blend brought out the perfect balance of flavor and sugar in the
grapes. The aroma has many notes, including mocha and red raspberries. The
palate is deeply layered with dark red fruit, spices and licorice, and a smooth
mouthfeel. There are hints of white pepper in the finish.
The
winery has been owned and operated by the Anderson family since 1983. By
ordering six bottles or more per year, you can join their wine club. This will
get you a discount on many of their finest wines, including a $10 discount on
the ’13 Estate Reserve. Join their wine club and try a bottle today.
