Suveræn vin til pengene. Sammen med 07 den stærkeste Affinity Craig har fremstillet. Man mærker tydeligt Keith Emersons aftryk her. Parker giver 92:"The 2006 Affinity is a steal for a high-quality Napa Cabernet-based wine (actually 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot). This wine displays floral, blueberry, and black currant notes intermixed with some subtle oak and a hint of coffee beans. Generous, rich, with beautiful layers of fruit, impressive purity, and admirable elegance combined with power, this is a gorgeous wine that can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15+ years." og måske endnu vigtigere er den på det ansete San Francisco Journals liste over "Wines of the Year".
Jon Bonne´ : "With fruit from the Mount George area east of the city of Napa, the winery's Left Bank-style blend, with a bit of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot in the mix, outperforms for the price. A clean, pure Cabernet nose: graphite, cassis, hints of dried citrus peel to brighten things. Polished and sleek, with a lingering sweetness to the finish." SF Journal.
