| Deep, bright ruby. Redcurrant, cherry and dried flowers on the nose, with a peppery note in the background. Taut and focused on entry, then fleshier and broader in the middle, offering gently sweet red berry and floral pastille flavors and a hint of bitter chocolate. Shows very good clarity and bite on the firm, focused finish. This is 100% cabernet sauvignon and is made mostly from young vines in the Lamb Vineyard. | ||

| The 2007 Cameron Proprietary Red is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers gorgeous blueberry, blackberry, forest floor, and floral aromas that jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored effort. Rich and opulent with well-integrated sweet tannins, acidity, and wood, this is a young, exceptionally pure, beautifully textured, long wine that can be drunk now and over the next 15-20 years. | ||

| The superb, deep ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Cameron reveals aromas and flavors of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, charcoal, and graphite. With a superb texture, a full-bodied mouth-feel and a long, lush finish, it appears to be the finest Cameron made to date. It should age easily for 15+ years. | ||
| 2006 | 90 Points | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
| One of the finest 2006s is the 2006 Cameron Proprietary Red. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it reveals silky tannins as well as plush red and black currant fruit interwoven with dusty, loamy soil, spice box, and a hint of tobacco leaf. This soft, stylish, St.-Emilion-like offering should drink nicely for a decade. | ||
| 2005 | 92 Points | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
| A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 2% Malbec, the 2005 Cameron Proprietary Red Wine offers outstanding potential. Aromas of black raspberries, black cherries, cassis, wood, lead pencil shavings, and spice box are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with silky tannin, superb purity, and a tight, but promising, long finish. Give it 1-2 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following 15+. | ||
| 2003 | 90-93 Points | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
| The deep ruby/purple tinged 2003 Cameron (76% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Malbec) possesses more power and fruit concentration than the 2002. It possesses lovely floral, berry, and black currant notes, a distinctive hint of pen ink, and a certain minerality. With fine density, concentration, and overall harmony, sweet tannin, and a long, persistent finish, it should drink well between 2007 - 2016. | ||
| 2002 | 90 Points | Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
| The 2002 Cameron Proprietary Red (33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and the rest equal parts Malbec and Cabernet Franc) is an elegant, medium-bodied effort displaying attractive mineral, black currant, white chocolate, dried herb, and spice box characteristics. It could easily pass for a St. Emillion pr Graves in a blind tasting. Atypically measured and nuanced by California standards, it will drink well for 10-12 years. | ||
