Lastly, the flagship 2017 Camarcanda is based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. More sun-kissed notes of kirsch, currants, new leather, dried flowers, and tobacco leaf just about soar from the glass, and this puppy is medium to full-bodied, with a ripe, rounded, expansive texture, present yet silky tannins (although you can tell it’s from a warmer vintage), and a great finish. This beauty is already incredibly expressive and aromatic but will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and evolve nicely for 15-20 years.

A dense, taut version, evoking black cherry, blackberry, violet, iron and tobacco flavors, this is crystalline and precise, with a well-integrated structure for support. Offers fine purity and a long, fruit-driven aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2032. 475 cases imported.
