Gaja - 'Camarcanda' Bolgheri 2015 (750ml)
96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result. (The soils are treated with compost to darken them and to keep them balanced.) This wine is tight and compact, showing good backbone, complexity and intensity as a result of the terre bianche, or those white soils. The 2015 vintage is particularly fruity, sweet and succulent, with a delineated minerality in the mouth. The wine spends 18 months in oak.
94 points Jeb Dunnuck
The flagship under this label is the Camarcanda and the 2015 is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in barrel. It offers a more serious, inward style in its darker currants, tobacco leaf, graphite, menthol, and licorice aromas and flavors. It too is incredibly refined and elegant, with medium body, moderate yet silky tannins, and just beautiful all-around balance and harmony.
