CAM X Lot 6 & Lot 11 Mix and Match FUTURES OFFER (12 bottles)

From producer Cameron Hughes:

Get your fingers ready Russian River Chardonnay fans! Lot 11 is the wine you have been waiting for!

Sourced from a compendium of 3 different grand cru Russian River Valley vineyards (let's just say in the same league as Ritchie Vineyard), Lot 11 2023 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a seriously sophisticated but decidedly delicious Chardonnay.

Here's the scoop, backed up with 2021 and 2022 vintage, the producer (from whom I have been buying for years) combined a few barrels from each of their $70-$80/bottle single vineyard designates into one blend for me. I paid about 50% over market for the privilege but I was happy to do so, the wine is incredible and still a mind-blowing value. If you love Russian River Valley Chardonnay, this is probably the best Chardonnay I have offered from this region.

Barrel-fermented in new french oak and them aged in a combination of one-year old and neutral barrels, the picture perfect 2023 vintage offers us an opulent, beautifully balanced (if not downright elegant), Chardonnay with chalky acidity carrying a melange of ripe orchard and tropical fruit with beautifully integrated oak. I should note, the producer sells their entry level Russian River Chardonnay for $50-$60/bottle and recently awarded a 93-point score in the Wine Enthusiast.

This is better juice here folks, and I suspect today you will find it significantly less expensive :-). 

From producer Cameron Hughes:

$45/bottle Sonoma Coast Rosé for a song?

Folks, you are gonna love this!

I picked up this vibrant, beautiful Rosé of Pinot Noir from a legendary Sonoma county Pinot Noir producer who sells this same wine for $45/bottle under their label. Exact. Same. Wine. Sourced from some of the Sonoma Coasts finest estate vineyard sites and purpose-built, it's an absolutely fantastic and utterly delicious wine.

Bottled at the end of May and ready to go at the end of June. Grab yourself a case and watch your summer blossom!

Yes, indeed, rosé lover's it is time to Back Up The Truck!
