Acclaim

A bright, if slightly rustic red that generates plenty of interest in the nose and palate with brambly berries and hints of dried herbs. Medium-bodied, vivid and fresh. Drink now.

A very pleasant red with red-berry and rose-hip character. Medium body with good balance and a hint of firmness on the finish. Drink now.

EDITORS’ CHOICE    Aromas of yellow spring flower, beeswax, ripe stone fruit and hazelnut mingle together in the glass. On the rounded, enveloping palate, honeyed mineral notes underscore ripe apricot, juicy white peach and lemon drop while white almond lingers on the finish. There’s so much going on here. Drink soon to capture the delicious, juicy fruit or hold for even more complexity. Drink through 2027.  -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 2021

EDITORS’ CHOICE    Opening with enticing aromas of Mediterranean herb, yellow spring flower, eucalyptus and citrus, this is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. It’s also delicious, delivering juicy yellow peach, fennel, white almond and the barest hint of grapefruit alongside tangy acidity. A mineral note suggesting saline adds depth. An absolutely phenomenal showing. -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 2021

CELLAR SELECTION    Enticing aromas of blue flower, woodland berry, menthol and pipe tobacco shape the expressive nose. Full-bodied and youthfully austere, the linear palate features Morello cherry, spiced cranberry, licorice and wild mint alongside noble tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2026–2046.  -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 2021

The 2014 Campaccio Selezione is a terrific wine for what was a very challenging year. Bright cherry, kirsch, new leather, licorice, French oak and spice lend vibrancy to this lithe yet well-balanced red. I would not push my luck on aging, but there is no doubt the Campaccio Selezione is a winner in 2014. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sept. 2021

The 2016 Campaccio is clearly a wine from a previous era at the estate. Ample and rich in feel, the 2016 powers through with copious black plum, chocolate, mocha and sweet oak. There is plenty of depth, but the 2016 also feels a bit heavy. Even so, the 2016 is nicely done in its style. It will be interesting to see what the new owners do with their flagship Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sept. 2021

Blackberries, blueberries and lavender with some sandalwood. Some roses, too. Full-bodied and very tight with linear, racy tannins. I like the intensity and focus. Very cool for a 2017. Drink or hold.” -James Suckling, Jul. 2021

Very fragrant and refreshing with some dried cranberry, rhubarb and citrus on both the nose and palate. Medium-bodied and crisp with some attractive phenolics that give it texture. Drink now.  -James Suckling, Jul. 2021

Aromas of white grapefruit, peach, green apple and lemon grass. It’s light-to medium-bodied, fresh and fruity. Clean finish. Drink now. Screw cap” – James Suckling, Jul. 2021
