Wine Details
Beautiful extraction and a dark core await you on the pour. The nose is redolent with red fruits, graphite, plum sauce, violets, and hints of green bell pepper showcasing long legs with each swirl. The palate is more terroir-driven, carrying elements of leather, potting soil, and excellent acidity framed by plentiful, grippy tannins leading into a long finish with resonant waves of oak influence and bramble fruit. Eminently quaffable on its own, this would go great with a beautifully marbled ribeye or thick cut New York steak.

Mendocino delivers seriously terrific quality for price. It’s home to an eclectic mix of small family wineries on California's North Coast, bordered by redwood forests to the east and a rugged coastline to the west. Famous Napa and Sonoma wineries have been augmenting their wines with Mendo fruit for quite some time now, but some of the appellations within Mendocino have emerged as stars in their own right while still maintaining relatively approachable prices – the Anderson Valley, Mendocino Ridge, and Yorkville Highlands AVAs are particularly renowned for their quality.
Lot 766 comes to us from a family winery that’s been growing grapes for six generations (starting in the mid-1800s). 150 years later they’re still at it, guided by a “minimal intervention” winemaking philosophy and letting the fruit do its work. No complaints here – their wines are a fantastic expression of what this region has to offer, and we were happy to scoop up this small batch of 2018 Cab from their cellars.

Excellent Value
Gorgeous deep rich color, flavorful, non fussy (short decant), and delicious. The only thing missing is having more available.

We thought it was great
Finally opened this bottle and we really liked it and of course it is sold out! Always an adventure with tasting new bottles of Cameron Hughes wine selections but we love it. Liked the jam and not too many tannins.

Lean and Lovely
A well made Cab that is not over extracted. Fruit is there, but not jammy or syrupy. This is definitely a food friendly Cab.

No fruit bomb
Dark and blue fruits on the nose. Dark fruits, dark cherries, slight tobacco, nice acidity and mild oaky tannins on the palette. A nice peppery finish. Tends to tannin-up towards the end of the glass, but not objectionably.

Great Cab!
This was a great bottle! Like others have said, I wish I would have tasted this before it sold out, as I would definitely grab a couple more bottles!

Solid Cab
Nothing extraordinary here, just another solid cab from Cam. Balanced oak, which I prefer. Great value.

Grab it while you can
Looks like a few bottles are left. This one is a steal! Juicy. Sweet. Good size. Pop and pour! Not the one for the wine aficionado coming over, but perfect for a party!
