TASTING NOTES
The standard bearer for the Conn Creek portfolio, this 2022 Anthology is a worthy champion that is sure to delight and impress right out of the gate. With deep, dark berry tones and delicate flashes of garnet and eggplant at the rim, this wine presents itself with
striking depth and elegance. Aromas of cedar and wild herbs like thyme and oregano mingle effortlessly with cassis, lavender, tulips, crushed peppercorn, and a hint of rose and cinnamon. A soft yet vibrant entry unfolds into a savory, spice-laced mid-palate, where notes of iodine and macerated cherry weave through fine tannins. Layers of soft dark fruit — blackberry, cassis, and açaí — emerge alongside subtle hints of leather, lending both structure and intrigue to a lingering, contemplative finish.

"In 2022, the Anthology bottling includes fruit from select sites across the Napa Valley. This is a pleasing, easy-drinking, juicy, and opulent wine, featuring dark berry fruit that pops and underscores notes of cola and baking spice, all of which carry through to a lengthy finish.
Fermented largely in barrel, and the integration of the tannin makes this so approachable."
