The 2007 Anthology as usual is a blend of the many vineyards Conn Creek accesses throughout Napa Valley. It’s a very good wine, sumptuous in fruit and easily likeable for its soft texture and upfront berry and chocolate flavors. Still, there’s something generic about it. Even though it’s more expensive, it lacks the focus and interest of the winery’s single-vineyard bottlings.——S.H.(4/1/2012)—— 90

Lean, spicy, oaky nose, stylish. Quite lively, has some density and weight, firm tannins, but not extracted, marked acidity on the finish, youthful, but has potential; balanced and long.
