Sorella means sister in Italian and the wine was made to honor winemaker Chris Camarda’s sister when it was first produced in 1994. The portrait on the label is now Chris’ late wife Annie who died in 2005. Fruit from vines averaging 35 years old was used in this outstanding single-vineyard (Champoux) Bordeaux style blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.
Nose: Beguiling aromas of earthen minerality tinged with blue and red fruit, lavender, dried herbs, graphite.
Taste: Artfully balanced with intense focus and a visceral edge to the complex earthy flavors backed by a tower of plush textural tannins. Concentrated and restrained with a sheen of minerality that pushes on endlessly.
