2007 Anthology
“In keeping with tradition, our 2007 Anthology blend includes all five Bordeaux varieties to create an elegant, rich, and approachable wine reminiscent of a warm berry pie. This wine delivers a spiced-laden bouquet of berries, violets and vanilla. Juicy and unctuous, the fruity and floral flavors blossom with time in the glass, and finish with an exotic spiciness that will leave you wanting another glass. This wine benefits from decanting and continues evolving over the course of a meal and into a good movie.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker
MORE ABOUT THIS WINE
- Price: $55
- Blend: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 9% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot A dry winter led to an early bud break and a temperate, rain-free spring. Warm temperatures in mid-August hastened ripening temporarily, but an unusually cool September and early October slowed maturation so that Bordeaux varieties ripened steadily and slowly. The effects of the 2007 climate were balanced ripeness, nice natural acidity, and mature, developed tannins.
