Robert Keenan Winery

40th Vintage Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Toasty plum and rye with cedar hinting at mascarpone-mint, boasting bright blueberry, dry blackberry and raisin-currant melange; withered hibiscus. Decidedly grape-y on the nose and into a mouthful of red currant, dried cranberries, green tea, pencil, cinnamon bark, savory, plus a salted black plum, and baked cranberry. This one has had oxygen exposure for 7 days, but is still wound up. Hold this one for a ten year minimum in my opinion. It was good yesterday, but better today. It shall not live to see tomorrow. Honestly built and spectacular in the making. #keenan #robertkeenanwinery #keenancab #napacabs #napacab #cab #cabernetsauvignon #cabsauv #sainthelena #springmountaincabernet #springmountaindistrict #springmountain #mountainfruit #mountainwine #sustainablyfarmed #sustainable #solarpoweredwine — 5 years ago

Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Poor vintages reveal good winemakers. So many of the '11 cali cans are a vegetal mess. This though shows dark fruit and leather, tannins present and well integrated. The crew @robertcraigwinery delivers in tough years. #rfc #mountainfruit — 7 years ago

Mt. Veeder Chardonnay 2011

Shimmering. Lemon peel, vinyl, spice. Mountain fruit FTW. #chardonnay #wine #btv #mountainfruit — 11 years ago
