Taste: Dark crimson center with a matching rim. Bright raspberries on the nose with hints of chocolate and dusty earthiness. Great complexity will continue to unfold, including nuances of mint and chocolates. Dense and full-bodied on the palate with a solid core of currant and raspberry fruit braced by bold acidity. This Cabernet brings high-toned raspberry fruit and stellar structure. Drinkable near-term as well but will need some decanter time, maybe an hour or so.
Cameron Confidential: Thanks to our winemaker Sam Spencer, we were able to source this wine from a great vineyard in Red Hills, which is essentially an extension of Napa Valley into Lake County. These vines grow into the beautiful obsidian-choked soil of Mount Konocti. At 2,200 feet elevation, the sidewalls of this mountain allow perfect drainage for the vines to grow deep into the earth. Shockingly, this wine shows Rutherford dust! Honestly, if you didn't know that this beauty came from Lake County, you'd swear it was a Rutherford wine. This vineyard already makes great valued wines, so for us to source it at an even better price for you guys, it's an absolute steal at $12.
