Trite to say, perhaps, but having just ate kiwi, this wine is surprisingly reminiscent. Wonderful stones, apples, grass, and toffee on the nose. I taste something astringent, almost kiwi-like, and slightly like petrol. Don't know what this was like in its youth but I like it now. There is a touch more butter than I'd like it the freshness of the nose carries through with nice acid and that astringency. Drink up! — 9 years ago
Cherry notes and flirty. Great for a summer day if you find Surah top heavy. Lovely buttery aftertaste. Go New York! — 9 years ago

Conn Creek is a boutique winery on the Silverado Trail in the Rutherford district headed by winemaker Mike McGrath. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep red with aromas of currants and floral notes. On the palate juicy blackberry and raspberry flavors with espresso and tobacco tones with big well integrated tannins. Lingering finish ending with cedar and mineral ending. Will benefit from aging. — 9 years ago
This brawny Rutherford SB is much like that kid that joined the marines just for fun. Bronzed pear color. Fat legs coat the glass upon initial swirl. Robust, rich and perhaps almost pine-tinged flavors of lime and kiwi. Bold, with a nice, weighty mouthfeel. Has body and bite. Was very lucky to find this wine indeed. Yellow flowers and a slight honeyed essence from the Semillion with a present minerality. I think zesty is a great adjective for this Rutherford SB — 9 years ago

Smells like dank nug. Kiwi and melon on palate. Medium plus body and acidity. A shade of wool. — 10 years ago
Extremely interesting for ordinary kiwi Sauv Blanc. Worth the risk. Muted tropical highlights grass and herbs with an Sicilian style funk. — 11 years ago
Polished, deep dark juice. Mocha and blueberries. Well structured, big but pretty. Lots of finesse. Kiwi and red currants on the finish. Just getting better and better. This stuff is dynamite. — 11 years ago
This is the 2016 and it is as good as the prior growths if not better, the reason I keep it stocked. Mild floral with excellent kiwi and citrus taste that just lingers in your mouth. Never been disappointed and this a step ahead. Buy for cocktails, chicken or fish, you won't go wrong!! — 9 years ago
Amazing acidity. Very Burgundian. — 9 years ago

Tart kiwi nose, riper on palate, lime, sour apple, very green fruit, biting, subtle white tea comes in later and softens to flaky pastry. — 10 years ago
