The 2022 Robert Craig Winery La Fleur Cabernet Sauvignon ehibits deep, saturated color along with spicy, black fruit up front and a sturdy backbone of mineral and tannin. A significant amount of time in new French Oak barrels have rounded out the edges of this young Cabernet and given it a suppleness and integration that can’t be found with less expensive American oak or the dreaded barrel stave flavor treatment. Our La Fleur Cabernet is supple enough to enjoy immediately though it has the structure to benefit from additional cellaring.

At Robert Craig Winery we have always celebrated wines that invite wine lovers into high levels of quality without punitive prices. Such is the case with our “La Fleur” Cabernet Sauvignon that is a blend of young vine lots from our Napa Valley Estate vineyards on Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder along with spectacular fruit from a singular property owned by friends in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley. Just as “Flor de Pingus” and La Fleur Petrus are indicative of second tier offerings, so it goes with our La Fleur Cabernet Sauvignon.

54% Napa Valley, predominantly Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder young vine lots from our three estate vineyards with a little Rutherford in the mix. 46% Dry Creek Valley.

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec aged for  18 months in French oak, 35% new.
