Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity 2009 - $49.99

Free shipping on 6+ bottles.

At just $49, Robert Craig Affinity Cabernet Napa is one of our annual best sellers thanks to high praise from Robert Parker and a relatively low price considering it's an Opus One Cabernet blend look-alike (86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 2% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc). Ready to ship next week, this brand new release has already garnered another "Outstanding" rating from Robert Parker and a credible "insider" source has tipped us that the Wine Spectator will be issuing a "significant" score in an upcoming issue, triggering a buying frenzy. For perspective, we'd been touting TOR Cabernet all Fall then suddenly the Spectator awarded it 97 points, causing it to sell out both here and at the winery in mere MINUTES. Fortunately, the Affinity 2009 is just now releasing so this is your chance to get in before the new ratings are released and inventories dry up. The phone's been ringing off the hook at the winery which prompted them to give us the heads up to avoid disappointing loyal Porthos subscribers. Please let us know ASAP of your desired amount before we sell out.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review 92 Points
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity bursts from the glass with an exciting array of dark red berries, flowers, licorice and sweet spices. Floral notes reappear on the finish, adding brightness and lift. This gorgeous, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to drink beautifully for at least a handful of years. In 2009 the blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 2% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017."
