Gaja - Ca'Marcanda Magari 2021

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Ca' Marcanda 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It brings forth a floral bouquet, showing subtle elegance at the start. Give it a few moments and the wine hits on all cylinders with integrated oak, bright fruit, black cherry, pomegranate seed, iris root and dustings of oak spice that never overshadow the fruit. The wine is refreshingly uncomplicated but shows refined nuance instead. This is the proverbial understated elegance that Gaja achieves so beautifully. It closes with lovely acidity and dusty tannins.

Falstaff

Andreas Larsson - Tasted

Dense and youthful core, with a garnet rim. Intense and pure, with good layers, some floral lavender notes, garrigue, dark cherry, cassis, tobacco and fine wood. Dense and fresh palate, fine nuances and mild spiciness, with fresh dark fruit, crunchy dark cherry flavours, with a fine aromatic herbaceousness and a long savoury finish.

The

James Suckling

Lots of cabernet franc character with currant bush and fresh herbs like basil and lemongrass. Medium to full body, with firm tannins and a savory finish. Some tomato leaf and currant undertones. A blend of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot.
