“Ripe black plum and cedar aromas lead to rich flavors of dark chocolate and black cherries. Supple tannins add texture to the lingering berry and sandalwood flavors. Balance, finesse and grace are the trademarks of Collins Cabernet vineyard in St. Helena.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker
MORE ABOUT THIS WINE
- Price: $45
- Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Vineyards: Bill and Kathleen Collins, the founders of Conn Creek Winery, farm this vineyard on the valley floor in the St. Helena AVA to the south of Calistoga. This block-selected Cabernet Sauvignon is emblematic of a microclimate that produces ripe and jam-flavored wines with distinctive fine tannins. Because of its valley location, locked between the hills, this AVA tends to be very warm with minimal fog intrusion. The soils are primarily sedimentary and gravelly clay loam with medium to low water retention.
- ALC: 14.5% TA: .51g pH: 3.92
