2011 | Conn Valley | Cabernet Sauvignon Signature

This wine has intense aromas of dark berries, leather, smokey-tar, blue flowers, spice, anise, and minerals.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: I was taken aback by how powerful, rich, pure and concentrated the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature has turned out to be. Still in barrel, it is filled with cassis and spring flower-like characteristics as well as a lush, opulent, medium to full-bodied texture, and considerable length and ripeness. This cool, rainy vintage was fraught with potential problems, but Todd Anderson has come through with flying colors with this cuvee.

• Vinous: Anderson's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature is very much closed in on itself, something I found with the 2011s across the board. The flavors are nicely sketched and defined, but the 2011 needs more time in bottle to fully come together. Hints of plum, black cherry, smoke and licorice are layered into the finish. I tasted most of the 2011s a few months after my visit, with the exception of the Merlot and the Signature.

Producer Information

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards is a California winery known primarily for its high-end Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate has 40 acres (16 hectares) just south of Howell Mountain in the St Helena AVA, although all of its wines carry the Napa Valley designation. The winery was established in 1983 by Todd Anderson, and released its first commercial vintage in 1987. It maintains a focus on limited production, and a significant proportion of its wine is distributed through its mailing list. The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine, alongside Cabernet- and Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend wines, respectively named Éloge and Right Bank (an homage to the wines of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux's Right Bank). Anderson's Conn Valley also makes varietal Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wines, and a limited amount of Cabernet Franc. Past vintages have seen special releases, often made from less-common varieties such as Petite Sirah. The estate vineyards focus on red grapes while fruit for the Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from other growers.
