France may have established that the grapes of Bordeaux go very well together, but that essential blend can now be found in excellent wines worldwide, from South Africa to Washington State.California does particularly well with the black grapes of Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.

Conn Creek Red Bordeaux Blend Napa Valley Anthology 2000
Snoothrank:
Very dark opaque in the glass. Mellow, some wood on the nose. Not as full bodied as I might have expected on the palate. Somewhat tart. Still some very serious tannins. Some cherry flavoring emerging on the second sip. Definitely a wine that is going to go better with food. I am going to test the above reviewer's recommendation and have t... Read More

Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2007
Snoothrank:
Offers up a big bundle of black cherry notes, laced with just a hint of minerality. The tannins are surprisingly integrated and smooth on this one. A dash of cocoa powder on the finish. All in all, a beautiful wine. Read More

Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Angels 50th Anniversary Edition Napa Valley 2007
Snoothrank:
Lacking any body (or taste really) upfront. Hits you sweet midway. Ripe, tannic backend. Make it your second bottle, third definitely. But I wouldn't go for it as a first choice. If I had to price it, I would sell it for $11, not $18. Read More
