2009 Anthology Red Blend Napa Valley

Tasting Notes

The 2009 Anthology Red Blend opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherry, cassis, and plum, accented by notes of mocha, cedar, and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, offering layers of dark fruit, blackberry compote, and hints of licorice. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of sweet tobacco, showcasing the wine’s complexity and age-worthiness.
