From the high-altitude vineyards of Atlas Peak, Conn Creek’s Cabernet Sauvignon AVA Series 2018 truly represents the pinnacle of Napa Valley. Garnering a well-deserved 95 points, this wine showcases the exceptional terroir of its origin, offering an array of complex flavors. It opens up with a bold burst of blackcurrant and black cherry, followed by subtle notes of vanilla and spice, a testament to its 18 months maturation in French oak. The finish is long and satisfying, with velvety tannins that speak to its excellent structure. This cabernet would be the perfect accompaniment to a hearty beef bourguignon or a cozy fireside chat. Given its quality and the prestige of its origin, it’s a truly great value find that delivers well beyond its peers.
