Well tonight I am trying the Cameron Hughes Lot 35 and can say it goes quite well with garlic meatloaf and angel-hair pasta. The nose is subtle but of fruit and a hint of oak. On the initial taste I got a pleasant but strong grape juice and hints of raspberry and more oak. The tannins are evident but controlled and the wine is fairly concentrated. As the wine sat through dinner it seemed to improve from the initial taste right out of my wine cooler. With the evident concentration of juice, this age should age nicely and mellow. The Costco salesperson suggested best aged 5 - 10 years and I believe it.

I would definitely pick up the CH Lot 35 again or try another Cameron Hughes wine from Costco in the the future. You might want to do the same for your next big or small dinner.
