Wine Advocate: 98 Points
Made from a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon 9% Merlot 9% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot the 2020 Sorella is fresh yet restrained and has a focused and red-fruited core of spiced potpourri. The nose is slightly compressed at the moment and takes some spinning in the glass to coax some of the more delicate and seductive nuances revealing layers of complexity. Medium to full-bodied on the palate this is a gorgeous world-class wine whose true power comes from not being bold and massive but rather from being delicate finessed and focused. The wine is balanced on the palate with a compact frame elegant structure succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins before uncoiling across the mid-palate. The wine glides to a seductive and lingering finish and will undoubtedly be well-received when it is released in early 2025. It?s a fantastic bottling of Sorella and I?ll end with a parting note that I shared with Chris and Will Camarda: ?Bigger isn?t better... BETTER is better! This may be one of the most delicate Sorella bottlings I?ve had in many years. Although it comes in a more compact frame the 2020 is just as devastatingly gorgeous as any I?ve had.? Only 9030 bottles were filled after the wine rested for 22 months in 30% new French oak barrels. Published: May 11 2023
