Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon AVA Series Veloqx Vineyard Atlas Peak Napa Valley 2017

Conn Creek’s enduring commitment to Bordeaux-style red wines started in 1973 when it was founded by Bill and Kathy Collins. Conn Creek was among a small group leading a renaissance of the Napa Valley and played an important part in establishing Napa Valley’s reputation as a fine wine-growing region. In 1979, the Collins family built what is now Conn Creek Winery in the Rutherford appellation. This energy-efficient facility was perhaps the first “green” winery building in Napa Valley and includes 12”-thick walls made of Styrofoam, steel mesh, gunite, and a total of 20,000 corks. Today, nearly 40 years after its founding and under the well-practiced hands of winemaker Jean Hoefliger, Conn Creek is still focused on what Napa Valley does best: Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties.
