Robert Craig Affinity Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Appearance: Deep ruby with a garnet rim, showing good concentration and clarity.
Aroma: Inviting nose of black cherry, cassis, and blackberry, layered with graphite, crushed gravel, and subtle cedar. Secondary notes include baking spice, dried herbs, and a hint of cocoa.
Palate: Full-bodied with structured, ripe tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors echo the nose—black fruit core (blackcurrant and plum) supported by dark chocolate, espresso, and savory mineral tones. Oak influence is integrated, adding vanilla and toast without overpowering the fruit.
Food Pairing: Grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, aged cheddar or Manchego, mushroom-based dishes, and hearty charcuterie featuring cured salami and smoked meats.
Service: Serve slightly below room temperature, 60–64°F. Decant 45–60 minutes for best aromatic display and to soften tannins.
