Querciabella Camartina 2020
DOZEN: $2,592.00 or $216.00 each
The 2020 Camartina is a super-classic edition of this wine. Cabernet Sauvignon drives the blend, but there is also a ton of site character. Readers will have to be patient, as this is very much a wine for the cellar. Strong mineral inflections, black pepper, lavender, mint and licorice add layers of aromatic intrigue. ANTONIO GALLONI
Aromas of black and red currants with dried flowers, sandalwood and dark cherries. Medium- to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins that coat and caress the mouth nicely. Shows a focus and modernity. From organically grown grapes. Best in three or four years. JAMES SUCKLING
Mellow and harmonious, offering plum, black currant, blackberry, iron, leather and menthol flavours. Juicy acidity and dusty tannins lift the flavours and guide them to the long conclusion. Fresh and complex on the finish. BRUCE SANDERSON, Wine Spectator
I tasted the 2020 in a large lineup of recent releases in April. I wrote then that the 2020 Camartina was one of the best I had seen and discernably different stylistically than those of previous years. More depth and weight being the main thing, while at the same time holding onto the the delineation and elegance the wine is known for...iron fist in velvet glove type vibe. Wine of tasting.
