Craig Wine Cellars Winemaker's Dinner
Robert Craig Wine Cellars is a small, ultra-premium
winery, renowned for hand-crafting limited quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon
from exceptional wine grapes in the great appellations of the Napa Valley
. Recently named one of California's top 25 wineries, the Robert
Craig wine program is based on the concept of "Two Mountains and a Valley,"
which showcases three limited-production Cabernet Sauvignons, all of which
we will have at the wine dinner:
. 2001 Affinity
, their Bordeaux-style Cabernet blend of grapes from
the Valley floor
. 2001 &
2002 Mt. Veeder
Cabernet from
the rugged Western slopes of Napa Valley
. 2002 Howell
Mountain
Cabernet from
high atop Napa Valley 's eastern range
In addition to their three award-winning
Cabernet Sauvignons, the winery produces very small quantities of Chardonnay
and Syrah that we
will sample that evening.
In addition to receiving 93
points from Wine & Spirits, Robert Parker had this to say about the
2001 Mt. Veeder cab: "This high quality winery continues to turn out elegant,
handsome reds. Saturated ruby/purple-color offers up sweet aromas
of black raspberries, currants, & plums, along with supple, well-integrated
tannin, & a long, concentrated, rich finish. This powerful yet elegant,
well-balanced beauty will drink well for 10-12 years." --The Wine
Advocate, March 2005
Elton Slone
from Robert Craig will guide us through these very
special, limited-production wines with his unique charm, energy, and humor
while the Pine Crest Inn culinary team tantalizes our taste buds with
some special food pairings. "Elton is incredibly passionate about
limited-production, hand-crafted Cabernets, and he is excited to share
our story with restaurateurs around the country," according to vintner
Robert Craig.
