Robert Craig Winery, Howell Mountain (Napa Valley, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Oct 29, 2013

By Rich Cook

Another solid Cabernet Sauvignon from Robert Craig.  This one has forward blackberry, cassis, tobacco, dried herbs, pepper and a sexy raspberry note on the aroma front, with good translation into flavors on the palate, with fine grained tannin structure, moderate grip and a long rich finish.  A fine example of Howell Mountain fruit.  Contains 14% Merlot.
