CLASS OF '73
Class of ‘73: A new wine in the Conn Creek legacy, and one that pays homage to our founding. This is power, enrobed in fine elegance, and worthy of the very best that Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon has to offer. The classical bearing and never-ending pedigree of the great 2021 vintage makes this a first release beyond our dreams – and yet, entirely within your reach.
TASTING NOTES
Entrancing aromatics of lilacs and cocoa powder, with lingering scents of black plums pulls you into the glass. Luscious and luxurious in the mouth, with a focused minerality, and accents of crème de cassis, blackberries, Luxardo cherries, and heady kirsch, with flourished of roasted Herbs de Provence, cascading into a powerful finish of finely polished tannins and a mouth filing decadence.

DECANTER
|
With Jean Hoefliger as consultant winemaker, there is a new emphasis on elegance and refinement. The Class of '73 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of fruit from Oakville, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, and select additional sites around Napa Valley. It consists of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak. This is a fashionable, finesse-driven Cabernet with true elegance and precision. Pure cassis and black cherry fruit are laced with tobacco and sprinkled with hints of white pepper. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that are both present and lengthy and well-integrated. Overall, a tremendous effort from Hoefliger that offers excellent cellar potential.
