96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The producer’s take on the Left Bank, the 2022 Camaspelo is dominant in Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Merlot, some Tempranillo. The latter is the secret weapon, adding structure on the midpalate and underlying power, while the wine stays elegantly balanced and highly refined. Supple tannins support light-bodied layers of crème de cassis, black cherry, and cigar box, just a hint of gravelly, grippy texture suggesting further time in bottle, a good 20-30 years. (Jul 2025)"
95 points International Wine Report: "The 2022 Cayuse Camaspelo is a masterfully crafted blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting contributions from Cabernet Franc and Merlot, aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak. Aromatically compelling, it unfurls layers of crushed boysenberry, dried porcini, iron-rich earth, and bergamot tea, accented by hints of toasted spice and graphite. The palate is seamless and sophisticated, gliding effortlessly with velvety tannins and a core of black currant, ripe plum, and savory herbs. Bright acidity underscores its depth, while subtle notes of dark cocoa linger through the finish. Already showing incredible poise, this beautifully textured wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next decade. Almost 400 cases were produced. Drink 2025-2035 (Feb 2025)"
94 points James Suckling: "A cabernet sauvignon–based blend with some merlot and just a dash of tempranillo, this offers an attractive dark-fruited nose with hints of crushed walnuts, bay leaves, blackcurrant bush and wet stones. The palate is framed and tight yet finely textured, showing a juicy flow of fruit underneath a firm and chewy tannin structure. Long and tightly wound. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try in 2028. (Mar 2025)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "Supple and elegantly structured, with lilting black and red currant flavors accented by coffee bean and licorice as this takes on richness toward refined tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2033. 389 cases made. (Aug 2025)"
