Conn Creek – Anthology 2013, Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa Valley

The nose offers power, a beautiful fine grain and a very fine freshness. It reveals notes of Boysen berry, strawberry and small notes of fleshy plum associated with fine touches of dry tobacco leaf, Cuben pepper as well as very discreet hints of underwood. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy frame, a good definition, gourmandize as well as tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and small notes of fleshy raspberry associated with fine touches of small crushed blue fruits, violet as well as hints of mild tobacco leaf, nutmeg and very discreet hints of cardamom. Good length. Tannins are elegant. A very discreet hint of caramelization on the persistence.
