One Amazon user described this Monterey County pinot noir as follows: “Purchased as part of the three pack, this wine was absolutely fabulous.

One of the fun aspects of drinking Cameron Hughes is the anticipation of what will be in the bottle—you hope it will represent something normally 2-3x the price, and this particular wine knocks it out of the park. We are fairly casual wine drinkers, but appreciate when quality, taste, and value line up. This bottle hits all three metrics.” This delicious, flowery red is a blend of Mourvdre, Grenache, and Syrah. It is agreeable to just about any palette, but complex enough to hold your interest. We love how its light flowery taste blends with a savory herb element. It makes this wine a perfect complement to fish or meat.
