yep, 24-hour decant should work well on that wine.

Why is lot 34 so damn good? Why was this wine bulked out? Iād love to see more wines in that zone. Itās like full throttle fruit but not overly syrup-y, enrobed in graham crackers with great acidity. If there are tannins, they are disguised.

Longtime lurker here, first post ever. Been through De N and Cam H in past and CamX VIP now. Drinking CamX lot 2 tonight after 5 hour decant and find it delicious. Planning to move in next few months so trying to establish posting credentials prior to moving from DFW to list ~20 cases of reds before move. Will probably take my lots 14 and 19 with me, havenāt had either yet.

Lot 21 still seems tight. Should have left it in case another year IMO

Lot 19 is amazing and I have no doubt that lot 14 will also be amazing.

Lot 50 definitely moving in the right direction. Decanted last weekend for about 2 hours and enjoyed across the evening. Not disjointed, just very young and primary, with dark fruit, pleasant chalkiness on the finish, and defined-but-not-jarring tannins. Disappointed to miss Lot 80 and hope it gets back in stock!

All I know is, I tried a bottle of X34 PS very early and it was definitely shocked! Within 10 minutes I ordered a second case. 
Best PS ever, even while shocked 
Bulked out, probably due to market conditions?

Three cases of CX Lot 34 Oakville 2024 Petite Sirah ordered! Alas, only one for me, one each for daughter and son. Regardless of Wine Berserker reactions, Iāve got this on hold for 2028 and will just continue to smile at reactions made about this particular selection. I can do this while plowing through past dN Petite Sirah lots (L 58 McDowell Valley, L 110 Fair Play District, L 161 Walla Walla, L 302 Lanquedoc, L 422 California [Lodi], L 563 Calistoga and a French example). Today, of course, we have so far Cam Xās L 26 Calistoga and L 34 Oakville to look forward to down the road! Is CXās Lot 100 going to be a Petite Sirah??

My X100 guesses:
2025 Kern County French Colombard-barrel fermented & sur lie.
2024 Howell Mountain or Oakville or Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon?
My actual hope is:
a 2024 vintage Redux of X19 2023 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon!

Itās actually a pretty uniquely good wine. Itās very much dense rich blackberry character of petite sirah but itās the most graham cracker-y wine Iāve had.
