Conn Creek – Anthology 2012, Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa Valley

The nose is fruity, powerful and offers a fine grain and intensity. It reveals notes of wild cassis, wild blackberry and small notes of black pepper associated with fine hints of forest ground. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, tension as well as definition. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/ripe cassis, ripe blackberry and small notes of ripe raspberry associated with fine touches of violet, small black berries as well as subtle hints of tonka bean, vanilla, toasted almond and toasted. Good length and persistence.
