Cameron Hughes, Oak Knoll District (Napa Valley, California) Merlot 2012

Jul 22, 2014

By Linda Murphy

Negociant Cameron Hughes has mostly hits (and a few misses) on his “lot” wines, with Lot 410 Merlot being a definite hit.  It is vibrant and succulent, with crisp acidity framing the black cherry and dark plum fruit and subtle notes of leather, black olive and black tea.  Uncomplicated and delicious.
