Conn Creek Anthology (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2012

Professional Ratings

• 90 Wine Enthusiast
  Combining Cabernet with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, in that order percentage-wise, this is a well-made wine. Oaky and dusty with refined tannins, its fruit brightly centers around raspberry and red currant.
• 90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Anthology exhibits a dense purple color as well as attractive floral, blackcurrant and blue fruit-dominated aromatics. The enticing bouquet is followed by a medium-bodied, pure, complete wine with a solid attack, mid-palate and finish. There is noticeable, but well-integrated tannin in this excellent/outstanding effort. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.

  Mike McGrath blends this wine from 14 different districts of Napa Valley. It’s 75 percent cabernet sauvignon, with smaller amounts of franc, merlot, malbec and petit verdot. This has the tobacco-scented tannins of his 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet, with a tarry blackness lending the wine depth. It’s juicy and clean.
