Lot 60 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.

Nose has dusty cherry, plum skin, red/green pepper mash, dry crushed slate, some raspberry but trending more to vegetal aspects.
Palate has ripe plum, ripe raspberry, some blueberry, dried blackberry, neutral (light) oak influence with almost fully resolved tannins.
The lore of Cameron Hughes wines is hard to confirm, supposedly this Lot is from the NV Stag's Leap District, but like most of these wines they are clouded in some mystery as to their exact origins, which was the intent of the winemaker. What I can confirm, this wine was much better 10 years ago than today. An interesting experience.

Dark, deep, rich fruit, plum, mocha, leather, spice. Delicious!!!
