Cam X Wine Company

Ha! Unlike with Cam’s wine my wife never complained about that purchase. But I’m sure she would’ve if I’d bought 90 cases of them :rofl:

Speaking of which, as a FOCSMI (Friend of Cam special mega insider) I bought a case of #25. Less special people should get access tomorrow.

Eisele Vineyard Altagracia Cabernet Sauvignon

Latour Family owns it now, seems old winemaking to me, though not what I initially was thinking of course. Price, oak, location, grapes all match up otherwise.

Otherwise Baldacci Stella Knight but I don’t think the location description for the vineyard fits well.

Platt website is now built out (lot 4).

Interesting that Lot 4 is lower alcohol than the two chards listed there. Rules nothing out, clearly could just be lot selections that didn’t make their cut?

That’s what I was wondering too. Lot 4 is 14% according to the label from COLA database but only 13.2% on the website. Also it’s ~50% new oak compared to the 30-35% from Platt’s Estate. My guess is that the lower alcohol is from the less ripen blocks according to Platt’s 2023 harvest.

Very tempting to get more than 3 cases for Lot 4 but I’m holding out for Lot 30 Chard. And 31 and 35 PN too :crazy_face:

I read this as they had a riper profile and less oak desired on the final product and like you said, the selection Cam received is likely quite good, but on the leaner side and with a bit more oak than they desired. I still think it’s gonna be awesome.

Anyone consider Larkmead for Lot 25?
“Larkmead Vineyards is one of the oldest family-owned establishments in Napa Valley. Originally founded in 1895, the 115-acre Larkmead estate is now under the stewardship of the Solari-Baker family.”

Do they have a Calistoga SVD? I see their Estate Cab sorta matches, not exactly a SVD. Price is good, they usually include Cab Franc but don’t see why Cam couldn’t end with a different mix, so that’s fine. Funny they don’t list it as their AVA, but does seem like it is in Calistoga. Family history is good.

Not sure it’s a better match match than Eisele Altagracia or Baldacci Stella Knight, but it’s in the mix.

I might regret being a founding member when my wife sees all the cases arrive in October. But for now let the good deals roll!

I was having a panic attack this morning about the same thing…right before I bought Lot 25,

Add Fisher (Lamb, Insignia, etc) to the list of possibilities. They designate as Napa Valley but it’s Calistoga and on the alluvial fan.

Also to add extreme hype, Pallisades Canyon is in the Calistoga AVA and the winemaker…MacDonald.

It’s not a public offer?

I got an email for Lot #25 about 2 hours ago, but don’t see it on the website.

I just checked for it and I don’t see it up. Maybe it’s gone?
