Conn Creek Anthology Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021
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. Limited to only 17 barells, this wine has 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.
Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

2021 is the first vintage Jean Hoefliger started working with Conn Creek as a consultant. The 2021 Anthology displays a deep garnet-purple color, offering a wonderfully savory nose of black olives and beef drippings, giving way to a core of red currant jelly, black raspberries, and fresh plums. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers intense, muscular red and black fruit layers with a firm, grainy texture and just enough freshness, finishing long and minerally.
