Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2008 Right Bank (55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc) is slightly shorter and not as concentrated as the 2007. The lightest of the three vintages, the 2008 is a full-bodied effort displaying lots of cassis, bay leaf, charcoal, and subtle smoke. Expect it to drink well for 15 or so years

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. Todd Anderson also owns the super-premium Napa label Ghost Horse.
