2017 Anomaly Vineyards Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Responsibly Farmed
Hidden Gem
Classic in Style

The 2017 Anomaly Cabernet drills down on integrity and purity. This wine will continue to age beautifully over the next 10-20 years. Decant for an hour or two before enjoying. Produced using certified organic farming practices and only 1,000 cases made.

This isn’t one of Napa’s big names, yet this small producer flies under the radar and subtly graces the wine lists of the best restaurants in the nation including The French Laundry, PerSe and Rubicon. If you know, you know.

The year was 1997, and Steve & Linda were happily commuting to San Francisco every day to work at Steve’s law firm. As beautiful as the scenery was crossing the Bay Bridge, when the 20-minute commute from their home in Berkeley became a 2-hour commute in each direction, they began exploring other options – enter the Napa Valley. A home with six rows of Cabernet vines presented itself to them… they couldn’t resist. They traded in their yellow legal pads for crush pads and call themselves, “Accidental Vintners.” Twenty-three years later, they love their 20-yard commute to the winery, the only traffic being their two devoted rescue dogs, Danny and Ollie; and they have happily not looked back.

“Anomaly specializes in the production of the highest-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The first vintage of Anomaly was harvested in 1997 and made by us, “budding garagistes.” Buoyed by the praise of our 1997 vintage, we embarked on the journey of obtaining a permit to produce Cabernet Sauvignon by building a small winery adjacent to our small vineyard. Our first release consisted of 300 cases and sold out immediately. As the vineyards matured, the increased availability of grapes allowed us to gradually produce more wine.”
