This is a delicious, yet young Cabernet Franc from Napa Valley.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing black fruits with light cedar, earth, chocolates, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

Elegant and good right out of the bottle. Showing a soft mouthfeel and nicely balanced.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A beautiful wine from a producer that I’m quite fond of (more on that in a bit). This selection is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. The fruit is sourced from six appellations: Oakville, Rutherford, Atlas Peak, Diamond Mountain, Stags Leap District, and Chiles Valley. Coming from a vintage with “typical” Napa Valley weather conditions, this bottle is the perfect iteration of Anthology for me to try for the first time. Plush, cool, sweet black & blue fruits - plums, blackberries, boysenberries - laced in Christmas spices, coffee grounds, vanilla, and star anise. On the palate a lovely, velvety texture that accentuates the sensuous plumpness that stands out on the nose. A lovely wine ✨

A quick word on Conn Creek as a producer.

Many years ago when I first “getting into” wine I had a friend who introduced me to Conn Creek (both their Cab and their red blend). After that first exposure to their wine my wife & I began keeping their wines on hand at all times, as they were ideal selections to have around the home for all kinds of occasions. Alas, this is my first Anthology and what a delicious selection it is. — 4 years ago
