Wine Details
Lot 385 is gloriously appointed with dense black fruit, toasty oak, and bramble with beautiful graphite and violet notes. The core of the wine is dark and alluring, with the hallmark fine-grained tannins delivering graceful texture to support a wonderful core of black fruit in a long finish. Classic, stunning Stags Leap.

Lot 385 comes to us from a superb new winery in Stags Leap that wanted to wait for the 2012 vintage to launch their inaugural release. We were more than happy to take the entire 2011 vintage off their hands.

Great Wine drinking now
I made a mistake and drank one of my three bottles in 2016. Now it is drinking very, very nice with a one hour in the glass. Great nose, better finish. If you have any of these still in the cellar, please try it in the near future. Not sure if it will get any better with time. Nice concentrated fruit went very well with a steak and the next day just by it itself.

The BOMB!
I've been purchasing CH Wines since Lot 28 (and that's a long time)........Even wrote a review that was once posted on this website after 10 years. I can't recall EVER having a sub-par bottle! I let this 2011 sit until this weekend. I let it open up for an hour and in short it's the Big Bada BOMB - STILL! Luv these wines and have turned on many to this company over the decades! Cheers!

A Beauty
Sometimes I can look at a bottle and remember it. This is the case here. An amazing Stags Leap. I think I know where this one came from and the bargain is exceptional.

Wish I had ordered more
Last bottle of this. Huge aromatic fruit forward bouquet with rasberry and cherry overtones. Rich dark fruit flavor smooth and slightly tannic with hint of pepper undertone. Dark garnet color.

Still maturing but aging well
Pulled this bottle for our anniversary dinner. Decanted for about two hours before dinner. Very nice dark ruby color and great taste of blackberry and cherry. I'm thinking it will only get better over the next few years. Paired with steak, asparagus and grilled mushrooms. This wine deserves a 91 point rating. Very nice.

Great sipper
Tight right out of the bottle but, after an hour or so decant, the flavors came out. A big mid palate cherry bomb then, about a half an hour later, berry flavors (blackberry in particular) came through. A very nice wine to sip over the course of an evening.

Oh my...
We let it breath while we prepared dinner and enjoyed this stunning Cab. Will fight the urge and let the remaining 11 bottles age into their full glory.

Wish I'd Ordered More
After 30 minutes in the glass - WOW. Great intensity, complexity and drinkability. Sold Out, so just bought 3 other cabs from Cam - every bottle so far has been a terrific. I've told a couple friends, however fear demand for Cam's wine may exceed supply. Keep the great wine comin. My trouble is letting them sit and age.

Great wine
Thoroughly enjoyed it over the holidays. Would be better in a year or so.
