Wine Details
Lot 473 features a big, boistrous fruit core framed by notes of espresso, spicebox and volcanic rock. Balanced oak leads to a palate that is deeply concentrated with silky tannins and a rich, multi-faceted juicy finish. Fantastic.

Lot 473 2013 Lake County Red Blend, like Lot 447 is primarily sourced from one of the best vineyards in the Lake County area, Madder Lake Vineyard. Located on a seriously steep and rocky hillside at 2,250 foot elevation, these head-pruned Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Syrah vines produce fantastically dense fruit that normally sells in for $30-$40 per bottle.

This is going to win awards!
I purchased a few bottles at a Costco road show. I regret the fact that I didn't buy more! It's now sold out online. I will be scouting local costco stores and looking online to buy the lot by the cases. Phenomenal!

Outstanding nose and taste that gets better as it opens up
Really great nose. Medium tannins. It opens up nicely in about 15 minutes in the glass. Great wine for the price.

Great everyday wine
I love the CH zinfandel blends! At the end of the day you want to drink wine that is balanced and tastes great. This goes great with pork or beef. We just unfortunately polished off the case and look forward to buying another CH blend to replace lot 473.

excellent
I was doubtful when opening this Lot 473. However, much to my surprise, I LOVED it. It is SO much better than the Pinot I received in this same order. At this price point, I'd say an excellent value. Loved it!

Great value
It's too bad this one is sold out! My wife and I really enjoyed this wine as a great follow up to 447. Good thing there are other great finds at CH.

Incredible value
This quickly became our go-to wine. We bought 5 cases in total and I wish we had gotten more. Perfect everyday wine, great right after opening and as others have said even better the next day. Hoping for another release of this.
