Wine of the night! Just barely. Two great wines over steak dinner. Black and blue fruit shine with a juicy scent. Perfectly balanced. Acidity just right med +. Tannins are soft yet powerful giving it a more defined mouthfeel. Nice finish. A near perfect wine and definitely one of the best 2017 Napa cabs I’ve had. — a year ago

Delicious- fruit forward, berries, tobacco, slightly tannic. Will pair perfectly with our Porterhouse steak and grilled potato/arugula/crumbled blue cheese salad. — 5 years ago

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. — 5 years ago

Much better on day 2 big blue and red fruit, cocoa, coffee, mint, great mouthfeel, medium tannins, medium minus acidity, this one has many years left in bottle but drinking very well. — 2 years ago

Yep, valentine's day...had to open something!

Decant for sediment(decent chunky/fine sediment). A thrilling super dark garnet color with some bricking. On the nose: Beautiful expressive notes of plum, black currants, olives, sweet aged cab perfume, boiled meat, smokey cedar. Taste: A soft, creamy, elegant, medium body wine with a little plum, black currants, pencil lead, tobacco, minerals, and a slight blue fruit tea medium plus dry finish with a still there tannic kiss after 23 years. Drink em up, probably on the downside. — 4 years ago

Wow. Wonderful, just amazing right now. Beautiful bouquet of violet and dark fruit. Elegant black and blue fruit with touches of cigar, and charcoal. Sad this is my last bottle! — 6 years ago

Dark ruby colored. Nose of ripe dark fruit. Mouth coating blue and black fruit. Ripe and fresh tasting. Fruit moves to oak tones with mellowed tannins. Appears to just be hitting its stride. — 5 years ago

Definitely a day 2 wine at this young age. Minty blue mountain fruit. Still a few years away from its prime window. — 6 years ago
