CAM X Lot 3 & Lot 10 Mix and Match FUTURES OFFER (12 bottles)

From producer Cameron Hughes:

With great numbers comes great responsibility! So, how about some Mountain Muscle?

Legendary Hillside vineyard? Check.
Insider blocks? Check.
90% new French oak? Check.
$200+/bottle price point? Check.
Producer bottling blend? Check.

Showcasing a combination of hillside meets mountain power, Lot 10 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a huge, ripe, muscular combination of meaty yet high-toned Coombsville fruit (58%) blended with 42% of some of the Cabernet best blocks from the massive "vineyard that must not be named" that straddles Atlas Peak to Pritchard Hill (I used to source fruit from this vineyard so I know it well; however, to be honest, I was never able to work my way into these blocks as they were reserved for the who's who of consulting winemakers/luxury brands). Aged in~90% new French oak (Taransaud, Francois Freres, Seguin Moreau, etc.) and built for a $200+/bottle price tag, it easily has the stuffing to go 20+ years in your cellar.

Originally intended as a new, Icon-level offering for their portfolio (the program names are built into the lot codes), the producer simply wanted to reduce inventories and we split the final blend. The wine just hit our barn last week and goes into the bottle at the end of the month. There are approximately 200 cases available.

From producer Cameron Hughes:

Our next offering hails from one of my favorite Napa Cabernet producers. Their wines pitch right up the middle stylistically, combining a rich-yet-elegant, approachable style with well-deployed oak regimens and a built-to-last structure. While the focus is typically on Cabernet clones, today's release hails from what I suspect is their ~$100 "Reserve" program bottling that captures their top barrels from Napa's top appellations. Today's release is a blend of Coombsville, Yountville, Rutherford and St. Helena AVA Cabernet Sauvignon plus 4% Merlot and 2% Petite Verdot and 2% Malbec.

Bottling blend? I can't be sure to be honest, but we loved it at first sight and are bottling it pretty much as-is (we blended in 2% Malbec).

Absolute classic Napa Valley Cabernet from and absolute classic vintage destined to go down in history as one of Napa's finest. I have purchased plenty of wine from these folks in the past but nothing like this. Trust me, I never would have gotten my hands on this wine in any other market conditions. 

Did I mention it's another screaming value?
