Top 100 Best Buys 2011
For sheer hedonism, this is one of the best Cabs on the market. This classic Napa Cab is dry, complex and a joy to drink now, framed by elegant tannins. A spectacular bargain. Production was 4,000 cases.  — S.H.  (12/31/2010)

Cameron Hughes 2007 Lot 172 Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $22
Another of Cameron Hughes’ terrific Cabernets at a good price. This wine will easily stand beside Cabs far more expensive, with its dry, crisply complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, anise, mocha and oak.  — S.H.  (12/31/2010)

Cameron Hughes 2006 Lot 146 Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $22
A lovely Cabernet, rich and pure and quite frankly delicious. Although it shows those famous mountain tannins, they’re softly refined and entirely drinkable now, letting the blackberry, chocolate, violet and mineral flavors come through.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)

Cameron Hughes 2007 Lot 175 Merlot (Napa Valley)

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
This is an unbelievable price for a Napa Merlot of this quality. The wine is softly tannic, dry and rich, with crisp acidity balancing complex flavors of cherries, currants, herbs, violets and cedar. Taste this against Merlots costing five times as much, and it will acquit itself well.  — S.H.  (12/31/2010)

Cameron Hughes 2007 Lot 149 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  1. $22
Give this young Cabernet a good decant before you serve, because it’s a big, brooding wine that needs some air to open up. Right out of the bottle, it’s tannic and dry, and the blackberry and black currant flavors are buried under a blanket of astringency. But it’s quite a good, well-made wine.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)

Cameron Hughes 2005 Lot 47 Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $20
This wine has the solid tannins the mountain is known for, and ripe flavors of blackberries, currants, cherries and chocolate, enriched with new oak. At twenty bucks, and with a low production, it’s a stunning value. With real elegance and even ageworthiness, it’s one of the best at its price point available now.  — S.H.  (3/1/2008)

Cameron Hughes 2009 Lot 271 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Best Buy
  1. $14
Lots of sweet raspberry and cherry fruit in this easy-to-drink Pinot Noir. It’s nice and silky, with a spicy finish. Nice with grilled tuna, lamb or beef, and a good value for the price.  — S.H.  (12/31/2011)

Cameron Hughes 2006 Lot 73 Cabernet Sauvignon (Chalk Hill)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $16
Shows real upscale character in a Cabernet from a négociant with a proven ability to deliver. With rich, firm tannins and classic balance, its flavors range from ripe crushed blackberries and currants to herbs, tobacco, olive tapenade, dark chocolate and smoky oak.  — S.H.  (11/15/2008)
