Description
Robert Craig’s terroir-based Cabernet program showcases cellar-worthy, structured and stylish Napa Valley Cabernets that speak of the vineyards from which they are made. This special Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is hand-crafted exclusively from grapes grown at his winery and vineyard atop Howell Mountain in the Valley's eastern mountains. Averaging 2,300 feet in elevation, this exceptional vineyard possesses varied microclimates and well-drained red volcanic soil that produce small, intensely flavored berries. The rich, luscious Estate Cabernet displays all of the classic Howell Mountain perfume and flavors of wild berry and mountain spice, as well as a sturdy tannin structure that is perfect for aging.
