Such is the case with our “L 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 o second tier offerings, so it goes with our La Fleur Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 Robert Craig Winery La Fleur Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMemo Summary Notes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-index-in-node=\"4\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e2023 Robert Craig \"La Fleur Craig\" Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e is a distinct, multi-appellation blend designed to offer Robert Craig’s signature mountain-grown quality at a more accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \"La Fleur\" is a nod to famous \"second wines\" from Bordeaux (like \u003cem data-index-in-node=\"84\" data-path-to-node=\"11,0\"\u003eLa Fleur-Pétrus\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem data-index-in-node=\"103\" data-path-to-node=\"11,0\"\u003eFlor de Pingus\u003c\/em\u003e), signaling that while this isn't the primary estate bottling, it shares the same pedigree and winemaking team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur La Fleur Cabernet is supple enough to enjoy immediately though it has the structure to benefit from additional cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINEYARD\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 43% Napa Valley, predominantly Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder young vine lots from our three estate vineyards with a little Rutherford in the mix.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• 57% Sonoma County, Dr Creek Valley\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• After a cold wet winter, 2023 developed slowly through a cool, extended season with harvest occurring very late in the year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• With such mild vintage, the 2023 grapes in Northern California possess terrific nerve and vitality.
