TASTING NOTES

The standard bearer for the Conn Creek portfolio, this 2021 Anthology is a worthy champion that is sure to delight and impress right out of the gate. Amiable and exuberant aromas of red raspberry, and black cherry, with rose petals, and still-warm blueberry tarts. The entry is soft and expansive with a sweet core of mixed berries, and spiced notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and warm, clay earth. Full and rich, with an amazing approachability, and yet, a well-integrated brightness and acidity that will allow this to thrive over the next decade.

DECANTER
The blend consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon from select sites in Napa Valley, 15% Cabernet Franc from Spring Mountain, 5% Merlot from St. Helena, and 5% Petit Verdot from Atlas Peak. It has a vibrant dark berry fruit character with loamy earth, green tobacco, and plenty of lush fruit on the back end, with gentle yet firm tannins. The finish is distinctly black-fruited and laced with graphite. Founded in 1973, Conn Creek Winery is situated on the eastern side of Napa Valley, just off the Silverado Trail. With Jean Hoefliger as consultant winemaker, there is a new emphasis on elegance and refinement.

JAMES SUCKLING
With vibrant black cherry and complex savory flavors, this full-bodied, firm-textured wine shows a bit of attractive restraint. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins that give focus to the mouthfeel, while cherries, dark plums, black olives and herbs on the palate keep the complexity going. Drink now or hold.
