Wine Details
Pours a translucent ruby with a balanced nose of red berries, cassis, cedar, and oak. The palate is welcomingly rustic – dark berries, baking spices, and tarmac are intermingled with good acidity and small, grippy tannins. The finish is very terroir-driven, carried by elements of boysenberry and warm, earthy spice.

Cam Confidential
Cam Confidential
The CAM Collection series was created to deliver terrific quality and value for customers that prefer to keep returning to a handful of favorite wines (vs the “here today, gone tomorrow" nature of the Lot program). We recognize that there are plenty of folks that just want to enjoy "old reliable", so we sourced larger lots from some of our favorite producers for this project.
The 2018 CAM Collection Cabernet is bound to become one of our most “bought by the case” wines – an attractively priced, super drinkable workhorse that’s the very definition of an all-purpose value Cab that effortlessly suits any occasion. From dinner parties to daily quaffing, it punches well above its weight class, striking a balance between fruit and terroir while showcasing an elegance that reflects the higher echelon of what Lodi Cab has to offer.

Solid wine, but not my drink all the time
I'd give it 4.25 stars and enjoy it; it was a great value. However, I was hoping this would be a everyday Cab I loved and wanted to add to every order. I will certainly drink it again, but just missing that little bit of uniqueness for it to be my standard "order 6 every month" type of wine.

Quite Impressed
I bought this wine expecting it would need to be laid down for a few months given the age, but when I opened the first bottle I was smitten. It has that cherry, dark berry flavor, but not so huge that it can't be savored on its own. I bought one case and will be repeating my order as soon as my wine fridge allows it.

Great Value
Very happy with the 'CAM' labeled Cab. Decanted and enjoyed. Not a deep cab, but a very enjoyable and drinkable one. Great wine for everyday drinking.

Very Nice
First bottle was really good right out of the bottle. We let the second bottle breath a bit and it really opened up. Drank the remainder of the bottle the next day and it got even better! We are very happy with the purchase and will be buying more!!

Okay red
I was hoping this wine would make the cut for becoming our new everyday red since 681 has sold out. Well, it did not. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied red, lighter than most Cabs. There is not much aroma to the nose. On the palate, some berries and spices with little depth. The wine did not improve after allowing it to breath for a day. In my opinion, it is comparable to one of the better boxed Cabernet Sauvignons.

Great taste, not a full bodied Cab
nice smooth Cab but is a little too light bodied for a California Cab. Certainly drinkable but was expecting a darker wine.

Great for the Southern Summers
A very nice cab even for the hot days in the South. Nice straight out of the bottle, but a tiny chill and a bit to breathe makes it even better.
