Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2008 Anderson's Conn Valley "Estate Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (98RP, 94VN). Wine Advocate: "One of the few wineries to make a 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve that eclipsed its 2007 counterpart is Anderson’s Conn Valley. A spectacular effort that is as black as a moonless night, this full-bodied wine boasts abundant aromas of creme de cassis, camphor and subtle oak presented in a voluptuously textured, full-bodied style with terrific richness and depth. Great intensity and opulence as well as a layered mouthfeel make for a remarkable wine that should age for 20-30+ years. (RP)" (12/2010)

Anderson’s Conn Valley farms a sheltered valley-floor estate just east of St. Helena, where gravelly loam and volcanic wash provide excellent drainage and yield Cabernet of purity, depth, and fine-grained structure. The 2008 Estate Reserve reflects the site’s classic profile: concentrated blackcurrant and plum layered with cedar, tobacco, and a subtle mineral edge that speaks to the vineyard’s mix of alluvial and hillside-influenced soils. Firm yet polished tannins frame the wine, offering a powerful but balanced, terroir-driven expression from one of Napa’s quietly outstanding, traditionally styled Cabernet producers.

“Fresh ruby-red. Musky blackberry, cassis, tobacco leaf and dark chocolate on the nose. Like liquid silk in the mouth, conveying a lovely impression of sweetness and seamlessness to its currant, dark cherry and cigar box flavors. Not outsized but dense, concentrated, smooth and lightly floral, with a firm-edged finish featuring substantial fine-grained tannins that eventually dust the front teeth. Wonderful subtle savory depth and complexity of flavor. (ST)” (05/2018)
