This Cabernet Sauvignondriven blend is a perfume of lavender water and hyacinth, backed by black cherry, black coffee and fresh pine-needle aromas. Blackcap raspberry, rosemary, cedar and black-tea flavors accompany soft acidity, velvety tannins and a sick and slippery mouthfeel.
Crushed rocks, tobacco, iodine, bay leaves and blackberries here. Mineral and savory, with very fine-grained tannins. Excellent freshness and silkiness, with gentle green-herb undertones. A blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon, with some cabernet franc and merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Leafy herbs, red and blue fruits, tobacco, cedarwood, and iron notes all emerge from the 2020 Camaspelo, another up-front, charming, soft, surprisingly supple red from this team. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has fine grained tannins, a layered, silky mouthfeel, and outstanding length. It's approachable today yet should have 15 years of overall longevity.
