Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Right Bank 2005   BN#214928 Varietal Merlot, Cabernet Franc Category Red Wine Region California : Napa Valley Producer Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Reg. $64.99 now $55.99  2.6oz  Send to a friend print cellar notes Wine Advocate Their Napa Valley Cheval Blanc look-alike is called Right Bank, usually a blend of two-thirds Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, although it can change somewhat depending on the vintage. This is a thrilling wine that comes as close as just about any wine in Napa to mimicking a great Right Bank Bordeaux. The 2005 Right Bank (70% Merlot, and 30% Cabernet Franc) is sensational as well. Exhibiting a deep ruby/purple color and notes of blueberry, blackberry, smoked game, cedar, licorice, and some camphor and leather, the wine is complex, fleshy, full-bodied, and a total hedonistic turn-on. Drink it over the next 15 or more years. Score: 95. —Robert Parker, December 2007.
