Wine Details
Lot 777 pours a beautifully translucent deep ruby, with thick legs and excellent hang time. The nose is just waking up, revealing aromas of red fruits, river stones, black cherry, and eucalyptus. On the palate, small, firm tannins are balanced against medium acidity, backed by leather and currant. A pleasure from beginning to end, it exits with a long finish of focused terroir, flecks of vanilla, and crushed florals over pipe tobacco and baking spices. The wine is just a baby, but is already showing its future potential with a healthy decant today.

Cam Confidential
Cam Confidential
Per usual with the top Cabs, we can't disclose much about the origins. Sourced from an estate that knocks out 90+ rated Cabs year after year (with a 90 from Parker in the previous vintage), this is an unmistakable expression of Napa fruit from another great vintage in the valley. Produced by a winemaker whose previous stops include some of the most famous names in the region, the wine is aged in 70% new French oak for just under two years. We couldn’t print Oakville on the label, but you’ll taste it when the time comes to pour out that first sip.
This is what we do best - first class wine at real-world prices.

Glad I ordered more
Needs more time in the bottle but it is already good - nice fruit (if on the medium body side). I will let this sit for at least another year and see how it progresses.

very young
Based on the Cam Confidential I dreaming of an Opus One or at least an Overture. Can't tell because this wine tastes so young. On the pour it has a lot of promise. I think the color is more medium ruby with a lot of viscosity (legs). The nose does not seem to be there yet that is why I think it is very young. On first taste I notice medium to low acidity but grippy but not quite astringent tannins with a long finish which may indicate something special may come out down the road. When I actually tasted it the following night the nose and fruit flavors were very. apparent, This is not Lot 700 or Lot 698 of last year but it definitely has promise. I will try again next summer with a few of the bottles of the case I purchased. I am very hopeful.

really good, but don't see myself ordering again
I really really liked it! but with all the value options Cameron has, I'll stick to two bottles of something half the price.

Better on the second day
I had the wine right out of bottle, and I think it was a mistake. It needs some rest air before drinking. It does have a good finish, strong tannins, but still young. I liked it better on the second day.

Expected to love it
Did a side by side tasting of #777, #773 and #775 with some wine loving neighbors. The three reviews are from all our notes. We decanted all three 45 minutes. This was our least favorite. Basically no nose. It was definitely better with food than the sips by itself. The color was exquisite in the glass but the on the palate it seemed over extracted. I know its sold out but personally I wouldn't buy again.

Nice Cab
Good bold cab. A little early. Suggest you let it breathe when you open. Will be amazing in a couple years.
