The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain has an inky purple color that is certainly as saturated as any in the impressive Robert Craig lineup. This is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot with similar élevage as the other wines. Beautifully sweet tannin, whole berry, blackberry and graphite notes are present in this full-bodied, opulent, delicious Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is an opaque purple, the wine expansive, savory and impressive. Drink it over the next 20 years. - Robert Parker

Mineral in its tannins, luscious and fresh in its mountain-grown fruit, this is a classic 2013 that has Robert Craig’s signature all over it. As black and constricted as the tannins may be, as dark and powerful as the fruit is, this is not opaque, the structure allowing some light to glint off the tannins. It has been softened up by oak aging, but not enough to diminish the years it needs in bottle to reveal itself. (950 cases)
