Taste: Enriched, full-bodied and powerful, LOT 229 is a gigantic but friendly beast with an opaque purple/black color. Beautiful warm blueberry, black raspberry and floral aromas interlace with notes of crushed rock and sweet toasty oak. The wine is deeply concentrated, full-bodied and intense with perfectly integrated, lush and sweet tannins. Big, black and beautiful.
Cameron Confidential: Lot 229 2009 Napa Valley Petite Sirah is sourced from two vineyards that are, by anyone’s estimation, among the Top 10 vineyards for Petite Sirah in Napa Valley, combining the depth and structure of Oak Knoll with the power and extraction of Calistoga. Lot 229 blows away so many $50 and $100 Napa Cabernets it’s ridiculous. For those of you who remember and are hankering for more of Lot 3 this wine is your wish come true and then some.
