Score 91/100 · Drink 2000-2020, Robert Parker, Dec 2000

The opaque purple-colored 1997 Affinity (primarily Cabernet Sauvignon) possesses exceptional finesse and elegance in addition to authoritative flavors. Highly-extracted, medium to full-bodied, with layers of concentration, it offers notes of lead pencil, well-integrated, subtle, smoky oak, black currants, plums, licorice, and flowers. Everything is well-balanced in this classy, gracious Cabernet Sauvignon that combines finesse with intensity. Anticipated maturity: now-2020. This is an immensely admirable offerings from Robert Craig. This impressive, concentrated red reflects a synthesis between the elegant, austere Bordeaux-styled Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and the extravagant, ripe, jammy characteristics found in wines fashioned from California's warmer micro-climates as well as richer soils.
