Château la Caminade 2008 La Commandery Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive

Toasty aromas are followed by intense black plum fruits twisted with tannins and polished with wood. It’s an impressive, powerful wine, with a complex structure. Firm at this stage, it need 4¬–5 years at least to age.

Château la Caminade 2006 L’Esprit de Caminade Malbec (Cahors)

Aged in large wood barrels, this is a big, powerful wine with medicinal, herbal aromas and a polished feel. The dark plums and bitter coffee give a rich aftertaste. Age for 5–6 years.

Château la Caminade 2005 La Commandery Malbec (Cahors)
Properly black in color, this exudes spice, wood and rich, delicious fruit. The elements are already working in balance, giving plenty of solid but dusty tannins on top of the black-plum and bitter-chocolate flavors. Age this wine for 4–5 years, but it will be delicious next year.

Château la Caminade 2004 Esprit Malbec (Cahors)
It’s wood all the way with this wine. From the initial aromas to the sweet, juicy wood-dominated fruit, there is spice and high toast. And yet the fruit is big enough to stay in there, hugely rich brooding power and density. Age for 2–3 years, but not more.

Château la Caminade 2007 La Commandery Malbec (Cahors)
- $24
Somebody was carried away with wood here. The wine is totally dominated by flavors of burnt wood— even the 50% new wood was too much in 2007. That said, the fruit could increase in weight and black berry flavors. But not just yet—in another three to four years.

Château la Caminade 2007 Tradition Malbec-Merlot (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
This wine is driven by its ripe fruit, black currant and red cherry flavors. Fruit tannins give weight.

Château la Caminade 2006 Red (Cahors)
- $14
A beefy wine, solid and structured. The tannins are dense, very dry, packed with the juiciest of black fruits, and promising a year or two’s aging. There is a hint of perfume from wood and sweet fruits. A great wine for rich meats.

Château la Caminade 2005 Malbec (Cahors)
This least-expensive estate wine from La Caminade is also the fruitiest, an explosion of black berries and freshness, layered with cranberry dryness. The wine is delicious, ready to drink, pure fruit.
