Lot 609 emerges from the bottle opaque with hints of red brick around the rim. The nose is at first dense with black fruit, red licorice and crushed red rock. With a few minutes in the glass, blackcurrant and white flowers join the party as the aromas unfold, becoming bolder and more nuanced. Immediately juicy, rich and ripe on the palate, this delicious Cabernet sweeps over your palate with supple tannins enveloped in berry flavors that linger with increasing intensity and focus in a long finish – a sure sign of great things to come!

Cam Confidential

From the same source as Lot 200, and every bit as bold, rich, and stupendous as its 2008 predecessor.

An exceptionally tight NDA had to be signed for this wine, which very much limits what I can tell you here other than the sourcing is from a top producer way above the $100+ price point, with estate vineyards in the best appellations (Oakville, Rutherford, and St. Helena). Aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months, this is a no-expense-spared bottle of Cab that checks every desired box on collectors’ lists when it comes to taste, structure, and pedigree. In the age of 90pt+ Napa Cabs averaging $150+, this is a no brainer and a phenomenal value.
