Winemaker Notes
Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
The 2003 vintage Affinity is powerful, intense, and expressive of its Napa Valley foothills origins. Great depth and complexity are hallmarks of this Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon blend, presenting concentrated fruit, a silky texture, and full tannin structure for long-term aging.
Aroma: Full, ripe black cherry, blackberry and currant bouquet, with black tea and a hint of spice. Offers the promise of deep fruit and further complexity.
Flavors: Forward, abundant cherry, leading into deep black fruit and cassis that sets the stage for tremendous depth as the flavors develop in the glass.
Finish: Opens up on the finish with classic, longlived Napa Valley black fruit, tea and cocoa.

Robert Craig Winery showcases four Cabernet Sauvignons produced from Napa Valley mountain and hillside vineyards, including Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from their estate vineyard, Affinity, a classic Bordeaux-style Cabernet, and powerhouse Cabernets from Mount Veeder and Spring Mountain. Each wine conveys a unique personality derived from the soils, climate and varietal characteristics of the growing region. Robert Craig has been a pioneer in mountain vineyard development for over 30 years. During the 1980s, he directed vineyard and winery development on Mount Veeder. Robert Craig wines debuted in 1992. The winery facility is located at 2300 feet atop Howell Mountain, with a Tasting Salon in Downtown Napa.
