Wine Advocate: 95 Points
a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and you definitely feel those full-throttle varietal aromas with big intensity and clarity. The wine boasts nice depth and dimension, and textual richness. As the wine moves over the palate, it reveals more substantial aromas of black fruit, spice and baker's chocolate.

The Ca' Marcanda estate does not make a Bolgheri Superiore, although this bottle would qualify as such. The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and you definitely feel those full-throttle varietal aromas with big intensity and clarity. Spicy greenness comes forward as grilled rosemary and lavender essence, but the wine boasts nice depth and dimension, and enough textual richness to smooth it all out. This was a slightly cooler vintage with some sporadic rain showers throughout the summer. These conditions might explain the sharper side of those Cabernet aromas. As the wine moves over the palate, it reveals more substantial aromas of black fruit, spice and baker's chocolate. This vintage is slightly thinner than the hot 2017 expression before it and the classic 2016. However, this wine should certainly play forward positively in terms of its aging potential.

This Camarcanda is reserved. Despite precise cassis fruit it is restrained, enhanced by clove and black pepper aromas. On the palate is a mix of dark fruits from plum to cherry, with firm chalky tannins and fierce acidity, still tight on the finish. The texture is good and it will improve. A perfect example of this cooler vintage with Cabernets.
