2013 Cameron Hughes Lot 468 Oakville Napa Valley Meritage 750 mL Wine
Smooth bold fruity flavor with a hint of spice!, This review is from: 2013 Cameron Hughes Lot 468 Oakville Napa Valley Meritage 750 mL Wine
When I was offered to taste test this wine by the company I was interested in doing so. I used to travel to California 15 to 20 times a year and I actually sold a lot of processing technology to the primary vineyards in northern California. I used to also spend a lot of time at the Lawrence Livermore National Labs transferring technology to industrial and commercial technologies. After a long day of work I would visit the vineyards and bring back some of the excellent wine from the region. I also traveled the world and visited wineries in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and South Africa. Over the years I developed an appreciation for good wines.
This wine is an award winner IMO and it has excellent flavor. Please see how we prepared the wine before we drank it. The wine was delivered by Federal Express and you have to be 21 years old and sign for the wine when it arrives. The wine was well packaged and it arrived undamaged. We left the wine alone for 4 days after we received it to let the sediments resettle after shipping. This helps to stabilize the wine and improve the flavor.
Please note:
* We opened the wine 2 hours before the dinner and then poured it through a wine aerator into a decanter and let it set for another 30 minutes. Swirling your glass of wine can also aerate it. The taste and flavor of the wine improved dramatically after being allowed to oxidize for this time period. The wine taste became mellow and the flavor and aroma was very good!
Lot 468 is a medium dry wine with a rich fruity taste and a hint of spice. It was left to aerate for about 2 hours and the taste was very smooth. We had company and they all enjoyed the flavor of the wine. It is an excellent quality of wine. It is a mature taste for experienced wine drinkers with a very smooth and rich flavor and aroma.
It is very good and an excellent choice for a meal of red meats or Italian food. We drank the wine as we enjoyed Italian food and it was an excellent addition to the meal.
I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation. A review was not promised to the supplier in exchange for the sample but I stated that if I provided a review that it would be fair and honest.
