2006 Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder

Cabernet Sauvignon: 750ml

$57.99

about this wine:

When Robert Craig first came to Napa Valley in the late 1970's, he headed to Mt. Veeder in the southwestern Mayacamas range. There he spent the next 12 years learning about mountain vineyards and came to regard Mt. Veeder one of the premiere Appellations for world-class Cabernet Sauvignons. His first Mt. Veeder Cabernet was made in 1993. Fourteen vintages later, the 2007 offering represents perhaps the finest expression of this mountain terroir. The wine virtually leaps out of the glass with luscious fruit, incredibly fine, silky tannins and powerful finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2009

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder (81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot) plays it slightly closer to the vest, and at least at this tasting, seemed to be the most backward and tannic of these wines, which surprised me. There is some creme de cassis fruit intermixed with lead pencil shavings and an almost truffle-like note, but the wine is backward and foreboding. A muscular wine, it needs 3-4 years of bottle age, but should certainly be another 20+-year wine.
