Many of my associated wine professionals have been raving about the quality and value of Cameron Hughes wines. So, I thought I would do some sampling on my own. I purchased the 2009 Lot 303 Stags Leap District, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2009 Lot 271 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
The Cab had wonderful scents of blackberry and plum, and had a good minerality with overtones of dark chocolate. It had very fine tannins. For $34 where are you going to find this quality of wine? Not any other place in Stags Leap appellation. Perfect for that rib roast or grilled steaks.
The Pinot Noir has already won a Wine Enthusiast 90 Pts. It had fragrant fresh cherry and raspberry aromas. There are some good toasty spices noted. Where can you find this quality Pinot Noir from Sonoma's Russian River Valley? Here at Cameron Hughes. Fabuous paired with a pork roast or turkey for Christmas dinner.
Happy Holidays!
