The Anderson's Conn Valley has 26 acres of vineyards, divided into nine blocks. These produce above 16,000 cases annually. The vineyards are known for the artfully crafted blends like Éloge, Éloge Gold and the newest Bordaeaux-style blend, Right Bank. What is unique about this place is the extended time of barrel-aging in two underground caves. Wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Éloge are stored for a minimum of two years in barrels, prior to bottling. This is the secret to wines of good colour, taste, and smell.

At Frog's Leap one will really get to know what true wine making is all about. Situated in the heart of Rutherford, here it is believed that a wine maker should allow the wine to develop with a distinct character of its own. Choosing grapes from a surrounding of 40 acres of vineyard, each grape varietal in here has a micro climate of its own. And this permits the wine to add in a strong character of the "terroir" it has emmanted from. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Leapfrögmilch, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Rutherford, Zinfandel and Pink are some of the names made here which you can select from. To add to this they they have an in-house wine and accessories store from where you can pick your flavor.

You can explore this cave, where tourists are taken to sample the several wines in storage - so a visit promises to be a unique experience.
