<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Winemaker Tasting Notes:</span><br>
The 2004 vintage Affinity is a Cabernet-driven Bordeaux blend that
showcases the power and richness of <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Napa-Valley.html" target=_new>Napa Valley</a> hillside fruit backed
by an underlying band of round, ripe tannins. Luscious fruit flavors of
great depth and purity are hallmarks of Affinity along with integrated
tannin structure for long-term aging.
<br><br>
Heady perfume of ripe black cherry and currant, with black tea, spice and violet notes. Bright and abundant dark fruit and black currant liqueur are intertwined with sweet spice box, licorice and
violets. Opulent black cherry drives the lively, long-lived finish. A rich, multi-layered Cabernet that balances power with finesse.
<br><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Vineyard Notes:</span><br>
The prime Cabernet source is Robert Craig’s estate vineyard and an
adjoining property to the south of the Stag’s Leap district, in the
southeastern foothills. This cool-climate area, known as Tulocay,
produces a Cabernet Sauvignon that is similar to the Bordeaux-region
of France – yet is very unique in its own right. Additional Cabernet
comes from the warmer hillsides near St. Helena, which contributes
added structure and complexity.
