About Anomaly Vineyards:

Anomaly Vineyards is a boutique family-owned winery that specializes in the production of the highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Our small winery is surrounded by our 8-acre Estate Vineyard at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in Saint Helena, and we produce between 1,500 – 1,800 cases annually. Together, our team focuses on making balanced wines that represent our site. We work closely with one another and value collaboration, a drive to learn, working safely and efficiently, while having fun. We work to have a culture that is familial and productive - during harvest we often enjoy lunch together as a team and share wines from around the world that inspire us.
