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. Tucked away in the sometimes seemingly forgotten Conn Valley, this winery is run with considerable gusto by Todd Anderson and his winemaker Mac Sawyer. This is an undeniable source of very complex and potentially age worthy wines … If you have not yet discovered the wines from this nearly 28 acre vineyard tucked away a few miles east of the famed Meadowood Resort, it’s time.

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)
