The Cameron Hughes Lot 460 Merlot may be young, but its fruit and forest profile belie a heady complexity that will only get better with age. On the pour, this California red wine is an opaque purple with a crimson rim. As if the color were indicative of the aromas, notes of cherry and black fruit waft up and are chased by earth, plum, and bramble. This medium-bodied wine is aromatic, plush, and fruity with fine grained tannins. Enjoy this now, or wait to see what lovely transformations this wine might undergo in the coming years.
