TASTING NOTES

"This wine opens with layers of vanilla, spice cake, and ripe boysenberries. The medium weight mouthfeel is soft and elegant with delicate tannins that linger." —Elizabeth DeLouise-Gant, Winemaker

DECANTER
"Bright and energetic, this wine offers potent dried purple florals nuanced by red-toned fruits, sandalwood, and sagebrush. On the palate, the character of the wine builds with tannic intensity balanced by a core of soft, juicy fruit redolent of cherry, plum, and dried strawberries. The presence of blood-orange and crisp cranberry layers in acidity builds freshness coupled with expressive graphite minerality. Still, at this early stage, the tannins and juicy fruit need more time to integrate. Best enjoyed from 2025. Founded in 1973, Conn Creek Winery is situated on the eastern side of Napa Valley, just off the Silverado Trail. Best known for its Bordeaux-styled wines, Elizabeth DeLouise-Gant has been winemaker since 2017. Previously, she worked at Beaulieu Vineyard, Tamber Bey, and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars."
