2019 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Regular price $108.00

 

Terroir, the French term for a sense of place that establishes a wine’s unique identity, is the perfect concept to describe the qualities of Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignons. At 2000’ along the summit of Spring Mountain, this property requires patience and attention to detail. Deep color and the intense perfume of dark mountain flowers are the signature of this wine each year, and the team at Robert Craig is fortunate to obtain a tiny amount of this exquisite fruit to create a wine with great weight, structure and velvety texture.

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.
