Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2018

Well-structured, full-bodied wine with a pencil lead finish, suggesting it will improve with age. A promising start.

Rich and multi faceted wine with a deep, dense color and a gentle texture. The nose is shaped by by layers of cocoa, oak, and white pepper, with subtle flavors of fresh coffee and inky fruit. The mouthfeel is full and rich, with a smooth, creamy tactile quality and a aftertaste that resonates nicely. Overall, a very nice wine with a well-balanced profile and a subtle, sophisticated character.

Robust and intricate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot, with a rich and supple texture. The fruit is dark and intense, with undertones of chocolate, new leather, and licorice, but a delicate spice and lavender note adds profoundness and nuance. The trail is long and satisfying, with a hint of aging potential. A fabulous investment for the price, with a projected peak in 2038. A well-crafted blend that will continue to evolve over time.
