Cameron Hughes 2009 Lot 229 Petite Sirah (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Plenty of sleek character in this well-grown Napa Petite Sirah. Shows lots of class and balance for a variety that can be hard to control. Likeable for its array of fresh, ripe berry, cherry, currant, bacon and spice flavors, and the smoothness of its tannins.

Cameron Hughes 2009 Lot 267 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Impressive in concentrated mountain fruit, this Cabernet has a gigantic core of ripe blackberries, blueberries and cherries. It’s a sweet wine, in the fruity sense, but is fully dry, and balanced with fine tannins and acidity, not to mention a firm minerality that comes from the earth.

Good price for a wine this rich and pleasing. With masses of blackberries, cherries, currants, anise and cedar folded into firm tannins, it’s ready to drink now. Just might be the best value you’ll find in a Spring Mountain wine, red or white.

Cameron Hughes 2007 Lot 287 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive

Lots of rich blackberries, cherries and chocolate in this Cab, but it’s no mere fruit bomb. It’s saved by a fine structure of acids and tannins. Very nice price for a wine this good.

Easy and gentle in structure, this has lots of Napa Valley polish and flair. It shows delicious notes of blackberry, green olive, sweet oak and spice, wrapped into firm, refined tannins and brightened by crisp acidity.

Cameron Hughes 2009 Lot 242 Chardonnay (Atlas Peak)
- Best Buy
- $13
At this price, this is one of the Chardonnay steals of the year. It’s made in the popular style, rich in ripe tropical fruit flavors, with a stony core of minerals, and liberally enhanced with sweet, smoky oak.

Cameron Hughes 2009 Lot 225 Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
A one-dimensional, pungent style of SB that’s fresh, zesty and tangy in the mouth courtesy of zippy acidity and flavors of tangerine, grapefruit and passion fruit. Finishes more in the pink grapefruit zone, but with snap. Chiseled and linear, but definitely still kicking.
