Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 comes from Joan Crowley’s vineyard, nestled at 2,000 feet near the summit of Spring Mountain in Napa Valley. This high-elevation site is primarily dry-farmed, producing small, concentrated berries that lead to deeply expressive wines. The 2017 vintage benefits from the vineyard’s best block, showcasing enhanced richness and structure while maintaining the refined elegance that defines this Cabernet.  

This wine opens with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and violet, layered with hints of dark chocolate and cedar. The palate is bold yet balanced, delivering flavors of ripe blackberry, plum, and espresso wrapped in velvety tannins. A core of minerality and well-integrated oak adds depth, leading to a long, polished finish with lingering notes of spice and vanilla.

Best enjoyed decanted to allow its complexity to unfold, this Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pastas, or aged cheeses. Whether savored now or cellared for future enjoyment, the 2017 vintage stands as a testament to Robert Craig’s dedication to crafting mountain-grown wines of exceptional character.
