2013 Camarcanda
Buying options
Tasting notes
Black currant, exotic spice, grilled bell pepper and fragrant purple flower are some of the aromas you'll find on this elegant blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The vibrant linear palate delivers raspberry, red currant, licorice, French oak and vanilla alongside bright acidity and fine-grained tannins.

A red with berry, chocolate and light vanilla aromas and flavors. Hints of fresh herbs. Medium body, silky tannins and a fruity finish. Polished and refined. Drink now.
The flagship 2013 Camarcanda is another attractive wine from this Gaja family's Bolgheri property. Soft, succulent fruit and mid-weight structure suggest the 2013 is best suited to near and medium-term drinking. Dark raspberry, black cherry, menthol, licorice and tobacco infuse the juicy, polished finish.
