Deep within the temperature controlled wine warehouse 
there have been rumors about a beast lurking around. Supposedly, the Beast had been hiding in the shadows behind wine boxes because his body had pricker pins all over it.
The keepers of the Beast at wine warehouse sort of forgot about him, and everyone else was just scared to meet him. Robert Parker had met him, but that was about it. What nobody really knew was that those those pricker pins were actually made out of US Dollars.
For over a year, the beast sat in cool darkness, making himself stronger, juicier, thicker, meatier, and more well-balanced. The Beast knew he would be released someday, but not until he shed some of those pricker pins. Little did he know that he would come to Concord.
Then it happened. Last week I got an email from the keeper of the Beast. The keeper told me the Beast had shed nearly HALF of his pricker pins (a.k.a. US Dollars). I immediately called the wine warehouse and yelled over the phone:
"BRING THE BEAST TO CONCORD!"
The Beast or what's more conservatively known as the 2006 Anderson's Conn Valley Reserve Cabernet is consistently one of my favorite Napa Cabs. Sometimes when I drink wine over $50 (and if I'm feeling critical) I begin to wonder whether or not I could find a wine half the price that's just as delicious. But with Anderson's Cab and others like Chapellet and Newton you actually GET what you pay for. And at 40% off this 2006 is a steal. Not to mention Anderson's is a family own and operated vineyard with estate grown fruit. How did we get the price so low? The distributor has their Anderson's 2007 Napa Cab arriving shortly, and the demand for '07's is so high that we were able to beat up the distributor a little bit and get this wine for a discount.
Check out this table from Robert Parker's website to see just how consistent the Beast has been over the last decade.

94 Points from Robert Parker
"The unfined, unfiltered 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve spends two years in French oak and another year in the bottle before being released. This cuvee has a long track record of aging (the 1990 and 1991 are still going strong). The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 offers notes of new saddle leather, black currants, autumnal vegetation/forest floor, cassis, and cherries, superb richness, and a full-bodied, powerful finish. Cellar it for 5-6 years, and drink it over the following 25 years." - Robert Parker
You can reserve a bottle, a case or more by emailing me or just stop by the store. Chris
