This one-off Cuvée from the boutique Robert Craig winery which focuses on mountain appellations in Napa is 50% Spring Mountain CS and 50% Howell Mountain Zinfandel (same juice that goes into the Turley Zin) aged 12 months in French Oak, 35% new. Gentle nose of dark fruits, green and sweet bell pepper, coffee, herbs, slight scent of perfume. Silky and savory on the palate with refreshing acidity. Bitter herbal finish. This wine is supple and delicious. And a hell of a deal at $20!

It's pretty cool to get a straight up, one off bottling from such a producer. And this definitely delivers. Some great spice and earthy, herbal notes on the nose. Great dark fruits, blackberries and plums. With black pepper and a touch of dank damp earth. Classic Napa here. 50/50 Cab Zin blend with all of the fruit coming from the mountains. Can't beat it.
