Translucent, deep ruby in the glass, you're welcomed by black cherry and blackberry backed by plum and cassis berries. The entry is juicy and fruit forward with baking spices showing as the wine unfolds on the palate over medium acidity with small, plush tannins. The finish is full of dark cherries, barrel spices and resonant vanilla that carries on with decent length. While it's delicious on its own, our money is on a ribeye or filet simply seasoned alongside this Lodi bottling.

CHW Confidential
When one speaks about a cult following, usually things like the movie Blade Runner, or the “Marquee Moon” album from the band Television come up in context; in our world certain Lots come to mind: 200, 609, 643, 717, just to name a few. It’s been quite some time since we finished the incredible run of fan favorite and often asked about (still, today) Lot 540. Today, we finally bring you the spiritual successor to that cult followed Lot, and considering the inflation we’re all faced with nowadays, at an outstanding price for the members of this list!
Lot 850, much like its predecessor Lot 540, is a Lodi fruit-bomb Cab that we brought in and amped up with a more-refined barrel program (Napa barrels with Lodi fruit – a tried and true pairing, just ask the cult fanbase of the predecessor). Nurtured and completed in-house by our Napa winemaking team, the result is a very approachable Cab that’s just as at home with takeout as it is with a slab of Wagyu direct from Japan (the idea of all that buttery steak umami with a wash of this vanilla-flecked, fruit-forward Cab has a few stomachs rumbling around these parts).
