Craft California Winemaking
Founded in 2010 in St. Helena we focus on hand-crafted wines from unique vineyard sites around Napa and Northern California. MTGA officially stands for “Michael Todd Gustaf Anderson,” honoring the three generations of winemakers in the Anderson family. We produce an eclectic selection of wines that are meant for any occasion. We hope you enjoy them!

Long before MTGA came to be, my family moved to the Napa area in the early 1980s to pursue their own winemaking careers by founding Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards, Trespass Vineyards, Ghost Horse Vineyards and Eagles Trace. Needless to say we have more wine in our veins than anything else!
After living back in Napa for a year after college I realized that despite being a part of the winemaking process in many facets, I had never made a wine from start to finish without guidance. So with a picking bin in the back of a pickup truck, a set of pruning shears, picking lug, and some spare time I hand harvested my first batch of Merlot grapes in 2010.
Through 2011 I started hatching a plan to start what would become MTGA Wines (though the name came later). That fall I also ended up meeting my future wife and “HBIC” Brittany. A year later we had bottled that first vintage of MTGA Merlot and eventually released it in the winter of 2013, at which time it sold out in about two weeks. With that MTGA was officially in full swing!
MTGA Wine Club
The quickest and easiest way to get in on new wine releases and support a small wine producer.
Saint Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
The MTGA Cabernet Sauvignon, hailing from a combination of Mt. Veeder and St. Helena, is a force to be reckoned with and is the current pinnacle of our Cabernet program.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
A new staple in the MTGA lineup. Our Napa Valley Cabernet is everything you could want from a bold red wine; dark fruit characteristics, strong structure and a smooth finish.
“Repechage”
Red Wine
Our outstanding Cabernet/Merlot blend and our wine with a cause. 10% of all Repechage sales go right back to some amazing charities that we love to support.
St. Helena Merlot
Our St. Helena Single Barrel Merlot is something that will change all hearts and minds about how awesome Merlot can be. Snag it while you can!
“Let It Run” Cabernet Franc
Kick it old-school with 8-bits of pure awesomeness! Each “Let It Run” wine will have its own unique label design as a part of an ongoing artist series that is available to our wine club members.
Napa Valley
Merlot
The MTGA flagship since our inception in 2010 has been our Merlot. Without a doubt it brings Merlot back to the table and has shown year after year that Merlot hasn’t made a comeback…
…it has been here the whole time!
Bennett Valley
Pinot Noir
Tucked in a small nook just south of Santa Rosa Bennett Valley is an amazingly beautiful, cool-climate growing region that allows a bold and spicy style of Pinot Noir to thrive.
Clarksburg
Pinot Gris
And now for something completely different! A brand new release that is ready to go for those warm spring and summer days. Super crisp, refreshing and sure to cure what ails you.
