7-YEAR LIBRARY RE-RELEASE NOTES
The power of Robin Williams' Mount Veeder Pym Rae vineyard is present in every sip. Big tannin and even deeper fruit prevail in this show stopper. St Julien beware, this wine has your number. With very low yields in 2011 and well drained soils, this is a wine to behold. Deep dark chocolate, blue stones and tobacco box aromas dance in the nose and mouth of this wine. A rare opportunity to have this experience early in the life of a Pym Rae wine.

Bob Craig has farmed vineyards and produced wines from Mount Veeder for more than three decades. After spearheading the successful effort to introduce the Mount Veeder nested AVA in 1993, Bob has continued his quest to introduce these rare wines to fine tables worldwide with his own bottling. Situated half way up the Napa Valley in the Mayacamas mountain range, the cool temperatures, shale and sandstone soils, and steep slopes of Mount Veeder produce wines of tremendous depth and power. Our single vineyard release remains predominately Cabernet Sauvignon, though Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec often find their way into the mix depending on the vintage.

The famous, 20-acre Pym Rae vineyard, still owned by actor Robin Williams, was developed and planted with Bob Craig’s guidance in 1990. The property is situated on the far north end of the Mount Veeder appellation and resides between 1600’ and 2000’ of elevation. The typical shale and sandstone soils hold very little water, and the stressed vines produce small clusters of intensely flavored berries that tend to display more dark fruit flavors than do the Vaca range wines across the valley.

SEEK OUT ... if you are attracted to wines that are as deep and dark as Ahab’s desire for the White Whale.
... if you possess a dark, quiet, cool room where young wines study to be more complex, better-behaved adult wines.
