Dark chocolate, black cherry and something a little burnt on the finish. Furry tannins and full body – has the build of a prizefighter, but not quite the nimble nuances of a Muhammad Ali. (RH)

Similar to the Champoux release, the 2012 Sorella is another killer wine from Chris Camarda. Its inky purple color is followed by classic Cabernet notes of crème de cassis, spiced plums, graphite, and crushed rock, and it has a firm, tannic style on the palate that just begs for bottle age. Forget this beauty for 5-6 years and enjoy bottles through 2042.

Tasted blind. Blackish purple. Rich and alluring on the nose but not quite enough follow-through on the palate. Lots of cool allure. Lots of tannins. Vibrant. (JR)

Score 96/100 · Drink 2020-2037, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Sep 2016

Continuing to drink brilliantly, the 2012 Sorella is up with the creme de la creme of the vintage. Its deep ruby color is followed by a full-bodied, rich and layered 2012 that boasts fabulous notes of creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, graphite, mineral and toasted bread. Like all of Chris's 2012s, it's still a baby, yet its impeccable balance and purity allow it to dish out tons of pleasure, even today. Nevertheless, it needs 3-5 years of cellaring and will have 25-30 years of overall longevity.
