Conn Creek 2007 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A tremendous Cabernet, showing the authority of its vineyard, high up in the Vaca Mountains. Dry and full-bodied, this wine is spectacularly rich in blackberries, cassis and minerals and is well oaked. What’s most remarkable is the quality of the tannins. They’re firm, yet soft and sweetly refined. A tremendous accomplishment, and should develop in the bottle for a…

Conn Creek 2007 Collins Holystone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A big, strong powerhouse of a Cabernet. None of the parts have come together yet. Sweet, smoky oak over here, flamboyantly ripe blackberry and cherry fruit there, fine, ripe tannins free-floating over all. In four more years, this lovely Cab should be undergoing secondary development in the bottle, so hold until 2015 if you can.

Conn Creek 2007 Truchard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Carneros)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A terrific Cabernet, dry and rich and dramatically layered. Tremendous in blackberry and currant flavors, its firm tannnis come from both the grapes themselves and the oak barrels in which the wine was aged. Conn Creek has really been at the top of the Cabernet game in recent years. Cellar this lovely wine until 2015, when it should begin to blossom.

Conn Creek 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
This is a blend of the various vineyards Conn Creek has access to. It is a splendid testimony to the winemaker’s ability to take disparate lots and make them harmonious. Just a beautiful Cabernet, dry and softly luscious, with complex blackberry, black currant, anise and cedar flavors. A wonderful experience now, and it should develop in the bottle for several years.

Conn Creek 1999 Limited Release Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Showcases this varietal’s sweetly limpid, berry side. Raspberry liqueur flavors are rich and long on the palate, accompanied by crisp acids and the heat of alcohol. Delicious from the soft texture through the full-bodied, ripe finish. —S.H.

Conn Creek 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A big, vital Cabernet that feels dramatic from start to finish. Shows powerful mountain tannins and fruity concentration, packing a punch of blackberries, black currants and minerals. Terrific now after decanting, and should develop through 2015, at least.

Conn Creek 2000 Anthology Red (Napa Valley)
- $54
Absolutely delicious, a fat, sumptuous wine that flatters the palate from beginning to end. Smells plush, brimming with currants and fancy oak trimmings, and turns lush and complex with fruit in the mouth. Best to drink it soon, in the fullness of youth.

Conn Creek 2002 Hozhoni Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $60
Young and appealing now for its vibrant, upfront cherry and oak flavors, this supple Cab has a lush, fine array of dusty tannins, as well as fine acidity. It’s beautifully balanced, a tremendously fruity wine that’s has a classic structure and elegance.
