2019 Cayuse Camaspelo | Walla Walla Valley Washington 750ml

Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Camaspelo has a Graves-like nose of both red and black currants as well as scorched earth, tobacco, sandalwood, and lead pencil shavings. Straight-up gorgeous on the palate as well, it's medium to full-bodied, has a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, terrific mid-palate density, and a great finish. It already offers pleasure today given its fruit and texture, yet it's going to cruise in cold cellars for 25-30 years. This is brilliant juice and up with the finest vintages I've tasted. | 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
