FROM THE PROPRIETORS

We formed Team Anthem in early 2009 to produce small quantities of handcrafted wines from the most distinctive and promising mountainous vineyards in Napa Valley. After considering over 100 applicants from around the world we selected Jeff Ames as Anthem’s head winemaker. An explosive talent, Jeff has made some of California’s most acclaimed wines over the last few years and has a long and brilliant career ahead of him. In turning to John Truchard to manage our vineyards we get the rare combination of a skilled viticulturist, sound vineyard manager, successful winery owner and someone with firsthand knowledge of dozens of the area’s top vineyards. John also knows Mt. Veeder – a vastly rewarding yet temperamental AVA. Both Jeff and John are hardworking, no nonsense, low ego professionals – the kind of guys you’d like to sit down with and have a glass of wine. Our kind of people.

. We’ve left the fruit from entire vineyarAs proprietors, we’ve consistently provided the team with very simple yet important guidance: let every decision made be solely guided by its impact on the quality of wine we produce. Quality has trumped quantity at every turn and the team has been free to produce without regard to cost, resources, marketing timetables or other extraneous factorsd blocks on the vine, foregoing harvest completely, because the grapes though serviceable, did not develop to our standards. We’ve bulked off perfectly good wine to other producers simply because it was not great and may well do so again in the future.

Anthem Description

Tasting Notes - Anthem Riverbound Sauv Blanc 2021

The fruit for this wine comes from the Gamble Family vineyard, which Jeff considers to be THE BEST Sauv Blanc vineyard in California. 97.5% Sauv Blanc Musque Clone is blended with 2.5% Semillon. .

This wine offers a rich texture with generous flavors of honeydew melon and cucumber. It’s barrel-fermented, resulting in a fuller, riper style than many other Sauvignon Blancs.

Additionally, the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc from Anthem Winery opens with enticing aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle. On the palate, you’ll find honeydew melon, citrus zest, Madagascar vanilla bean, and fresh ginger. The finish is bright, juicy, and long-lasting.
