Taste: This rich and complex Cabernet offers chocolate truffles, raspberry and forest floor notes in the nose. It traverses the mid-palate with thick concentrated ripe balanced tannins ending with flavors of blackberry, spice and caramelized walnuts with a dash of vanilla. Cropped in at 2 tons per acre and fermented with native yeasts and thrice daily punchdowns, the wine spent 18 months in 2 year old American oak barrels before being racked to neutral wood for another year.
Cameron Confidential: This wine was a tough acquisition. The guy who makes it, a curmudgeonly Italian guy, refused to negotiate off his price despite being two vintages behind the market – he knew what he had. We ended up paying exactly what he asked despite thinking there was blood in the water. They sell the wine for $50 so it’s still a screaming deal at $15 and as good as any Cab we have released. I see this as the big brother wine to Lot 7 – yeah it costs a couple bucks more but it’s worth it, especially for a 2004 which is the best Alexander Valley vintage in the marketplace today.
