Winemaker Notes
A dark, intense wine. The aromatics on the 2013 Right Bank pop out of the glass with the perfume of blue violets & roses, bright red currants and fresh red raspberry compote, menthol, spices that include clove, anise, and allspice. The 2013 Right Bank offers good energy, with plenty of richness throughout. Mocha, espresso, black cherry, and spice. Much more approachable than the 2012 upon release.
Blend: 67% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot

COMMENTARY: Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards has enjoyed a remarkable run on how well the winery handles Bordeaux grape varieties, and the 2013 Right Bank continues in that same vein. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers bold crème de cassis and generous oak aromas and flavors. Its elegant finish of dried herbs and blackberries keeps it clearly in the Cabernet Franc and Merlot camp.

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards are located just east of St. Helena in the Napa Valley where Conn Creek flows out of Howell Mountain. Twenty-six acres of vineyards, divided into nine blocks, along with a fifteen acre-foot reservoir are the heart of this 40-acre grape-growing paradise.
Separated from the Napa Valley floor by a north/south running ridge, the world-renowned wineries of Joseph Heitz and Joseph Phelps are located on the west side of this ridge and the Anderson's Estate Vineyards are on the east side at a perfect elevation of 400 feet.
The vineyards not only enjoy Napa Valley's superb microclimate, but share the same Bale Loam Series as are found on the famous Rutherford Bench. This combination of clay-loam soil and microclimate produces up to 106 tons of exceptional fruit each year. One from which a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blend, called Éloge, can be artfully handcrafted.
