"Cameron Hughes is an international negociant, sourcing and producing small lots of high quality wine from the world's best regions. Cameron offers a diverse range of wines uniquely represented by the Lot number on the label."
With that in mind, I have tried a few different Lots and man, are they good. I found Lot 331, a 2009 Red Wine North Coast Meritage at Costco for $10.99. The label mentions delicate florals and dark fruit flavors but once you let it open up, it has a zesty finish. I thought it was just slightly on the dry side with well-balanced tannins.
With the holidays approaching, I noticed on a return trip to Costco, a few more CH choices and the prices are great. Production on the Lots are limited and once they sell out, they are gone since the winemaker is not attempting to produce the same wines from year to year. This wine is definitely a must try.
Bottom Line: Drink it down.
