Score 89/100 · Drink 2002-2014, Robert Parker, Aug 2002
The 1999 Affinity Proprietary Red, a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, etc., exhibits a dense ruby color as well as subtle notes of wood, lead pencil shavings, new saddle leather, black currants, and minerals. It is a spicy, medium-bodied, graceful, elegant, surprisingly forward 1999. Consume this mid-weight red over the next 10-12 years. I continue to be impressed with the Bordeaux-like elegance displayed by Robert Craig's wines. While there is no shortage of California-like fruit and intensity, they also reveal restraint as well as a measured feel despite their bigness Tel. (707) 252-2250
