2007 Chalk Hill Cabernet

Cameron Hughes Wine Reviews Posted by Tim Hilcove 2007 Cameron Hughes Lot 140 Chalk Hill Cabernet Aromas of raspberry and anise. Cocoa and cherry on the palate. long mouth watering finish. 14.9% alcohol and not even a hint of heat. Its everything I like about wine. 94 pts. 2006 Cameron Hughes Lot 100 Stag's Leap Cabernet This wine really wows me. Not because it smacks me in the face saying "Hey I'm a big monster cab!" . It wows me because of its grace. And also because has anyone ever heard of a Stag's Leap Napa Valley cabernet for anything close to this price?? Lot 100 is a serious wine, decant it for an hour to let it open up. Pair it with a nice juicy steak, drink it slowly over the course of the night, or if you can't pace yourself be sure to get the second bottle ready before hand. Out of all the Cameron Hughes Wines I've tried lately this one is the most ready to drink. It will age, but it certainly doesn't need any more time in the bottle. 92 pts.

Extreme Wine Value The Smartest Guy in the California Wine Business? We've been excited about running this piece since doing the interview...A few weeks ago we sat down with Doug Rodgers, industry veteran and COO of one of the more innovative business in the wine trade today. He was kind enough to share many insights on the state of the industry - and the beauty of his company's simple approach. Below is a mere fraction of the ground covered that morning, but gives a glipse into what could well be a wine-drinker's new favorite source for lofty quality wines at down-to-earth prices... Cameron Hughes Wine is poised to have its best year yet - impressive given the state of the premium wine market. And the reason you should care is because they’re bringing you expensive quality wine at value rack prices. How? They buy surplus capacity from high-end wineries and growers, finish it, and market it under their own labels. The result: Extreme value wine. Our recent Notes From the Titanic piece waxed about the impending carnage in the California wine industry, but also made reference to the upside of a down economy. This, folks, is one place to find that upside. If you have a taste for exceptional quality wine, but can’t stomach the insane prices, this is a company to keep an eye on.
