Robert Craig Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

| Back to Robert Craig |
The 2000 offering of Robert Craig Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon brings
together the essential characteristics of a Mt. Veeder appellation Cabernet –
dense, generous black fruit integrated with fine, ripe tannins. Grapes were
picked in small quantities through the long growing season, and the flavor-
intensive berries translated into an exceptionally rich, forward mountain
Cabernet backed by supple tannins.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Expansive aromas of dark black fruit, dusty cedar, chocolate and mint,
which deepen over time. Flavors: Extra-rich, concentrated flavors of ripe black
fruit, currant, and cassis, finished with a touch of mint, cream and spice.
Finish: The solid, thick core of black fruit lengthens and combines with silky
chocolate, cedar and cassis for a plush, long-lived finish. General: A keenly
focused, ageworthy Mt. Veeder Cabernet, possessing great mouth feel,
structure and elegance.
