CUVEE COLLINS
Named for our founders, this is a classically styled cabernet sauvignon, that hearkens to the early days of Napa wine. A singularly impressive bottling that really showcases Napa’s unique terroir, and the exceptional age-worthy capabilities of her finest cabernet sauvignons.
TASTING NOTES
Bright, angular, and undeniably old-school, this cool and expressive wine delights the senses with cool mint and bay laurel, uplifted with high-toned flavors of red raspberry, pomegranate, and crisp plum. As the wine opens in the glass, richer notes of blackberries and smoked cedar awaken, with percolating hints of clove and toasted peppercorns from the wine's 26 months in barrel.

DECANTER
|
With Jean Hoefliger as consultant winemaker, there is a new emphasis on elegance and refinement. The blend is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec, sourced from Spring Mountain, Atlas Peak, and sites throughout Napa Valley. Aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak, the Cuvée Collins is teeming with inky black fruit character, laced with tobacco and fine cedar. Full-bodied, with compact, firm tannins framing plenty of creamy blackcurrant and cassis fruits, it also offers notes of graphite and hints of mocha, with a cool, wet slate and saline mineral finish. Founded in 1973, Conn Creek Winery is situated on the eastern side of Napa Valley, just off the Silverado Trail.
