Wine Details
Cassis, graphite, blackberry and mocha aromas leap from the glass. There is tremendous complexity to this wine. Dense and full-bodied, the palate echoes the cassis and blackberry nose, and boasts stellar structure. Eminently enjoyable near-term, and will age gracefully for 5-10 years.

Having spent well over a decade sourcing wine throughout California, I am convinced that the appellation of Lake County represents the nexus of quality and value for California Cabernet. The vineyard that produced our CAM Collection Cabernet, with its 30-40 year-old vines at 2000 foot elevation volcanic soils, is the same source for some of the biggest names in California Cabernet. This wine is a testament to our continued efforts to deliver the best product for the best price, period – an absolutely remarkable value that we're proud to offer vintage to vintage.

Great pick
I really enjoyed this collection. Smooth, well balanced and nice complexity. I went to buy more and discovered it was sold out. Cameron Hughes never fails to impress me. Great buy!

Loved this wine!
Sought it out twice after a tasting.....this is a hearty, beautiful cab. Normally cabs are best with food...but this was thoroughly enjoyable on its own.

Excellent Value
This is a big, full cab. Punches way above its weight class. Well worth it's price.

Yum!
Definitely one of my favorite Cabs from Cameron Hughes. Very smooth and nice long finish. Tastes like a much more expensive bottle of wine!

Smooth Cabernet
This Cab is a very good one, not like the every day big cabs from Napa. This wine has fruit and is very soft for a 2012. Would drink now over the next few years
