TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Lewis Perdue's Rating of Cameron Hughes: Zinfandel: Lodi-California: : 2010: United States

 Let this one sit (or decant violently) before drinking. Took half an hour for fruit to appear on stage. But very pleasant with BBQ burgers thereafter. Not over the fence awesome like a lot of Cameron Hughes wines, but certainly worth $8.99.
