"Affinity is Robert Craig’s Bordeaux-style blend featuring Cabernet grapes from the winery’s estate vineyard in Coombsville, in the eastern foothills of Napa Valley. The cooler growing conditions and well-drained soils of this vineyard produce a wonderfully distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon which is the perfect counterpoint to grapes from Rutherford, Oakville and Carneros that are used in the blend. From Robert Parker: "Robert Craig's 2008 Affinity, which is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, has a dark plum/ruby color, a very evolved and forward nose of spice box, cedar, black plums, and sweet cherries. It is medium-bodied, elegant, and ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years." (Dec 2010)"
