2022 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet Sauvignon from Amentet Estate Vineyard is towering, black and untamed with a direct sense of the chalky, white fossilized marine material that surged up off of the ocean floor five million years ago. Look for dark floral tones, graphite, conifer forest floor and explosive dark cassis fruit in its core. The wine is such a child of Mount Veeder that it’s hard to miss in a blind tasting.

The story
Robert Craig founder Robert (Bob) Craig began his long and storied career in wine at The Hess Collection on Mount Veeder in the 1980s. Prior to starting his eponymous winery, Bob’s passion for Napa Valley Mountain Cabernet had him spearheading the official recognition of both the Mount Veeder and Spring Mountain District AVAs.
In 1990, with the help of three friends he met at business school in Chicago 25 years earlier, Bob founded Robert Craig Winery and arranged to purchase fruit and custom crush his first commercial release of the 1992 vintage. The 1993 vintage release introduced three Cabernets that remain the core of our business today: Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder and Affinity. Now, four decades later, Bob Craig remains one of the most important figures in Mountain Cabernet development and production in the history of the Napa Valley.
