2011 Gaja Ca'Marcanda Camarcanda Bolgheri

50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - “Very attractive raspberry, currant and chocolate character with hints of nuts. Full body, silky tannins and a juicy finish. This needs time to soften. So gorgeous now, but better in 2016.”


Robert Parker - “The 2011 Bolgheri Camarcanda opens to plump berry notes with apparent ripeness in the form of sun-drenched blackberry and plum. The fruit element in this Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc blend is dark and compelling, and the mouthfeel follows suit with soft tannins and dark concentration. The 2011 vintage is also characterized by a more evident tannic bite that should soften with time.”


Wine Spectator - “A firm, crisp edge of acidity and tannins sets the stage for cherry, black currant, cedar, green olive and spice flavors. Tight, yet elegant and fresh, with a long aftertaste of spice. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2018 through 2027.”
