The 2004 Conn Creek Anthology from Napa, CA lived up to its reputation. Since the original Anthology in 1991, Wine Spectator has scored this wine 90+ every year. Wine maker Jeff McBride describes this wine as "having red and black fruit aromas and spicy flavors with nuanced expressions of creamy oak and berry cobbler. A robust wine balanced with silky tanins." This is a full-bodied wine made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petite Verdot. Be sure to decant this wine for 1-2 hours. If you can wait, I would keep it for another 3-5 years. Pairs well with a nice filet. The 2004 Anthology retails for about $50, which is a little high for this wine.
