Jeb Dunnuck"The producer™s take on the Left Bank, the 2022 Camaspelo is dominant in Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Merlot, some Tempranillo. The latter is the secret weapon, adding structure on the midpalate and underlying power, while the wine stays elegantly balanced and highly refined. Supple tannins support light-bodied layers of creme de cassis, black cherry, and cigar box, just a hint of gravelly, grippy texture suggesting further time in bottle, a good 20-30 years."

James Suckling"A cabernet sauvignon"based blend with some merlot and just a dash of tempranillo, this offers an attractive dark-fruited nose with hints of crushed walnuts, bay leaves, blackcurrant bush and wet stones. The palate is framed and tight yet finely textured, showing a juicy flow of fruit underneath a firm and chewy tannin structure. Long and tightly wound. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try in 2028."

Vinous"The 2022 Camaspelo wafts up with a darkly floral blend of peppery dried flowers, graphite and sage, giving way to crushed blackberries. It is lifted and cool-toned with silken textures offset by a saturation of ripe red and black fruits, further complicated by crunchy minerals toward the close. Tannic, chewy and long, the 2022 tapers off with youthful tension and a tart twang as hints of licorice fade."

Wine Spectator"Supple and elegantly structured, with lilting black and red currant flavors accented by coffee bean and licorice as this takes on richness toward refined tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon. 389 cases made. - TF"

Wine Advocate"The 2022 Camaspelo is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend matured for 18 months in 30% new French oak. It has alluring scents of chocolate-covered cherries, dark mushrooms, damp earth and black tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and nuanced, and its oak spice is well integrated. It's structured by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity and has a long, layered finish. 389 cases were made."
