Our new Sampler, October Opulence ($164), is available now!  The theme is big, opulent reds.  With the hot weather finally starting to die down, big red wines are making their way back into season!

Included are four bottles each of Lot 67 2005 Russian River Syrah, Lot 73 2006 Chalk Hill Cab and Lot 99 2004 Lake County Cabernet Franc.

Lot 67 has been a crowd favorite at recent events in San Francisco and Austin.  It’s got a unique minty nose with chocolate on the palate.

Lot 73 is just starting to unwind and has potential to be a Lot Series legend.  It scored a 90 point score recently from Wine Enthusiast.  It is full of black fruits, mocha and dark chocolate.

Cam’s palate continues to impress me, as I wasn’t expecting much out of a Cabernet Franc from Lake County; I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted Lot 99.  This big red has a beautiful nose full of vanilla and roses with cassis and blackberries on the taste. It demands pairing with red meat.  Decant these wines to get the best flavor profile.

Remember, shipping on all samplers is Free! Order now!
