CAM X Lot 2 & Lot 7 Mix and Match FUTURES OFFER (12 bottles)

From producer Cameron Hughes:

Folks, this is an absolutely fantastic Oakville Cabernet!

Straight out of a $160+ per bottle, single-vineyard, estate program on the north border of Oakville just off the Silverado Trail, this sumptuous wine has all the bells and whistles including a legendary consulting winemaker and 80-85% new French oak! Pretty sure we purchased the entire 2022 vintage; however, we only produced a couple hundred cases so I highly recommend you giddyup to one of our retail partners and grab yours today!

Those of you who have been with me for a while know I am a huge Coombsville fan.  Beautifully aromatic with plenty of backbone, Coombsville Cabernet's combine verve and complexity with robust, energetic structures. 

Lot 7 2023 Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon comes to us from an estate vineyard with the classic soil substructure of cobbly loam, small volcanic rocks and ash that, along with the fantastic diurnal swing of San Pablo bay, combine to make the wines from this region so distinctive.

The producer initially offered us two separate Lots: one from their Coombsville appellation program along with a small lot of 3 barrels from their very expensive estate vineyard designate Cabernet program (~25% of the overall blend). I initially wanted to keep them separate but they blended beautifully (and the logistics and losses involved with bottling three barrels are a PITA) so it was an easy decision to blend these together.

The source winery offers their Coombsville Cabernet for over $100/bottle and we can see the 2020 and 2021 vintages still in the market selling between $100 and $140. The estate vineyard designate program runs well north of $300/bottle. Both programs routinely score in the 93-100 point range from the major critics. Without a doubt a Top 10 player in Coombsville.
