CAM X Lot 5 2023 Knights Valley Meritage FUTURES OFFER (6 bottles)
From producer Cameron Hughes:
Pretty tight NDA here folks so not much I can share other than the appellations involved (Knight’s Valley and Oakville) and the final BDX blend…no discussion of price points, locations, or vineyards. I do think it is fair to note that this is not a flagship wine, but I believe it would be unfair to call it a “second wine”. What I CAN tell you is that it is fantastic wine, and we are bottling the blend as it was received.
Regardless, I am confident the content below will be enough to entice you to…
Lot 5 comes to us from a legendary winery. Produced in a lush, open-knit yet beautifully structured and utterly seamless style, this 2023 Knights Valley Meritage or Proprietary Red, if you prefer, captures the ’23 vintage in all its glory.
With tremendous upfront appeal (read: this will drink well now) and the capability to go another 15+years, Lot 5 is not just a sensational wine, but an amazing value! Trust me on this folks, if you like a succulent, ripe, hedonistic style produced with Swiss watchmaking precision, this is for you. Indeed, it is ABSOLUTELY TIME TO BACK UP THE TRUCK!

Tasting Notes
Dark and inky in the glass, Lot 5 features a hedonistic bouquet of plum reduction, graphite, cigar leaf and cocoa powder. The complexion of the bouquet darkens as it complexes, adding creme de mure, red rock, powdered violets with hints of garrigue. Uber-plush on the palate, cascading a magic carpet ride of purple and black fruit, chocolate, and toasty french oak all riding a deliciously chewy tannin structure. Succulent as all get-out yet perfectly integrated and harmonious, all the elements are seamlessly balanced with lush, concentrated fruit supported by fresh acidity in a long, glorious and epic finish that never seems to end. Exquisite in every way, this Cab-based Bordeaux blend will absolutely knock your socks off!
