2013 Cameron Hughes Lot 457 Napa Valley Meritage 750mL Wine
Strong bold fruity taste with a spicy smooth finish, medium dry!, This review is from: 2013 Cameron Hughes Lot 457 Napa Valley Meritage 750mL 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. 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 for business and pleasure. Over the years I developed an appreciation for good wines.
This wine has a bold fruity flavor and is what I would call a medium dry wine. We drank it with Italian food including a slice of pizza and the wine had a spicy side that everyone liked. It had a lingering taste that brought out the spice of the wine and of the food.
It is a dark rich purple color and it tasted like a good Cabernet but a bit softer as a result of the blending of the wines to make this Meritag e wine. The blending softened the wine like a good merlot. The group liked this wine with 75% of the people drinking the wine immediately liking the wine at the first sip.
We opened the bottle and poured it though a wine aerator into a carafe and we let it sit for about 30 to 45 minutes before drinking it. It was delicious.
The wine was delivered by Federal Express and you have to be 21 years old to accept 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.
Lot 457 is a medium dry wine with a rich fruity taste and a hint of spice. 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.
