CHW Confidential
Lake County is Napa’s neighbor to the north known for its rocky volcanic soils and high elevations (vineyards here range from 1500-3000+ ft above sea level). It’s one of the best value-for-money regions in the state – wines produced here are often a dead ringer for Napa reds, and many of its vineyards are actually sourced by the biggest names in this industry to augment much pricier wines.
Lot 748 is an absolute gem from one of our personal favorite producers in Lake County – a gentleman with over 40 years of old school winemaking experience specializing in small-lot releases. Aged for 15 months in both French and American oak, this is a Loire-meets-California (read: not a fruit bomb) age-worthy wine that would easily run you $50-$60/bottle if it was being sold on the other side of the hill.
