Good People. Great Wine.
Although this may not come across like a Merlot, it still offers great value. Plenty of vanilla mixes with deep berry and spice aromas, while the dark, extracted mouth offers a lush feel with good tannin matched with black berry and white pepper. 1 Note

A very nice Cab. It’s dry and stylishly constructed, with smooth tannins. The blackberry flavors have an earthier note of herbs and coffee. Drink this balanced, elegant wine now. 1 Note

Oak dominates this Porty wine, making it clumsy, with sweet, caramelized tastes riding over raisiny blackberry fruit. 1 Note

This is already tasting of raisins and prunes, indicators that the wine is already rapidly aging. Hints of bell pepper, mint and stem; better drink this one right now. 1 Note

A straightforward nose of sweet peas and honeysuckle lead to citrus and faint melon on the palate; finishes with a bit of grassiness. Although a bit simple, this is rather nice, with a light body and lively acidity. —K.F. 1 Note

Deep, rich aromas of cloves, cedar and red berry start this elegant but exotic red blend from Cameron Hughes. On the palate, spicy fruit, smoke and a minerally backbone give it a poised character. Friendly but demands attention. 1 Note

This vintage was a good one for Cameron Hughes’ Bordeaux-style wines, and this Cabernet-based blend, which contains a splash of Carmenere, is as good as anything they’ve released. It’s juicy-rich in blackberries, currants, carob and cedar, wrapped into firm, fine tannins. 1 Note
