2019 Cadence ‘Camerata’ Cara Mia Vineyard Red Blend

JD94+ Moving to the two reserve wines, the 2019 Camerata is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Merlot. It’s ruby/plum-hued and almost opaque, with a great bouquet of spiced currants, black cherries, lead pencil, sandalwood, and dried herbs. Beautiful on the palate as well, it’s medium to full-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, the elegant, seamless style of the vintage, and a great finish. It already offers pleasure, yet I see no reason it won’t evolve for 20+ years.
Estate Notes: Minerality, plums and blueberries. Strikingly seamless already at this young age and like Camerata just builds effortlessly from the deep berry front to glorious tannins that linger on a long finish. Power and complexity, grace and balance, an epic vintage for Bel Canto. Blend: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot
