Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon AVA Series St. Helena Napa Valley 2019

“Part of the AVA Series, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena AVA Series sports a dense purple hue to go with a big, rich, yet concentrated and tight Cabernet Sauvignon offering classic aromatics (blue fruits, spice, lead pencil), good overall balance, building tannins, and a great finish. It's another age-worthy wine in the lineup.”

“Deep blackberry and clove aromas lead to rich blackberries, blueberries and cedar on the palate of this full-bodied wine as masses of fine-grained tannins provide a grippy mouthfeel. The wine is bold, flavorful and built for further improvement with age. Best from 2027‚Äì2037.”

“Super bright and expressive of the St. Helena AVA, this wine has ripe boysenberry fruit, juicy plums, and muddled blackberry fruit aromas tinged with sweet oak spices and a hint of warm turned earth. It is full-bodied with satiny-soft and plump tannins, ushering in a panoply of juicy dark-berry fruit, a hint of apricot and redberry jam, and finishing with a fresh lift of crushed cocoa nibs, fragrant tobacco, cedar, and cardamom.”
