12/27/2023 - ddgd Likes this wine: 90 pointsThe aging factor has been beneficial since last bottle consumption and deserving of a point upgrade. Peppery, earthly and medium bodied with a long smooth finish. Great selection if enjoying with or without food selections. Honorable QPR. |

8/18/2023 - ddgd Likes this wine: 89 pointsHeld for a decade, received as a gift and opened for 3 hours before pouring. Deep in color, medium bodied and decent finish. Honestly, you can do better at this price point but it is such a legendary and historic winery. |

2/17/2023 - ddgd wrote: 89 pointsHeld for 10 or so years and decanted for 3 hours. Might be past it’s prime as not too expressive and deft on the nose. Did not materially change over the three hours. Was an enjoyable selection, decent legs and prolonged finish. |

2014 Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon AnthologyNapa Valley more |
1/28/2023 - ddgd Likes this wine: 90 pointsHeld onto this one and glad to select it during prime consumption window. Medium+ in presentation and taste with decent finish. Big fan of Conn Creek and this was my first Anthology. Middle of the road offering amongst their price line and products. Slight cork tainting. Not sure if this fits in the winery $70 range; $50+ at other retailers. |
