Robert Craig Cellars Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Professional Ratings

• 94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  Traditionally, Robert Craig has done a brilliant job with their selection from Mount Veeder, and the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder (80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) shows that haunting blueberry, raspberry, black raspberry and floral notes that seem characteristic of that AVA. A dense ruby/purple color, beautifully sweet purity, full-bodied opulence with a layered mouthfeel as well as sweet tannin make for another great 2013 that can be drunk young or cellared for 20-25 years.

  The spices and fresh herbs come through the cool fruit here. Hints of sweet tobacco. Full body, silky tannins and a juicy finish. A delicious red with lots of character and tone. Attractive now but better in 2020.

  This wine’s dense richness is restrained by the cool, foresty sense of its Mt. Veeder origins. It’s almost over the top with plumped-up tannins and the vanillin of oak. But all that push is pulled back by mountain-grown freshness. For the cellar. (1,100 cases)
