Anomaly Vineyards was founded in 1997 by Steve and Linda Goldfarb, a pair of Berkeley residents who decided to quit their law careers to live in Napa Valley. They bought property at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains that came with a couple of small vineyards, to which the couple added a few more parcels. They now own a total of 6.8 vineyards acres planted to Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. They also source grapes from Lewelling Vineyard, one of the valley’s oldest and most renowned. All farming is organic. The debut release was the 1997 vintage. Since 2005 Mark Porembski has been winemaker. Anomaly makes Cabernet Sauvignon-based reds.
