Situated along the summit ridge of Howell Mountain in Northeast Napa Valley at an elevation of 2400 ft., Robert Craig Winery continues its founding mission to produce small-lot wines from remote vineyards at high elevations and shallow soils. Robert Craig winery is renowned for its classically structured Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Spring Mountain and Diamond Mountain. They also produce minute quantities of Chardonnay, Merlot and Zinfandel. The cabernets regularly receive scores in the mid 90's or better from major wine critics.

Member Jim Freeman arranged for Winery President and CEO Elton Slone to visit Jacksonville, bringing current releases as well as aged wines for a special wine dinner at Queen's Harbour Yacht & Country Club.
