Flavor Profile
Named for its revolutionary “dark chamber,” the Camera Obscura was a marvel of the 16th century. It provided artists with a clever drawing aide and allowed sky gazers to observe eclipses. Inspired by the historic device, Camera Obscura is an inky-dark red that reveals its own fruitful wonders.
It celebrates a lesser-known, French-born grape variety called Petit Verdot. An all-star of Bordeaux, it thrives in California's warm climate where the state's abundant sunshine allows the thick-skinned grapes to ripen fully and develop seriously intense flavors.
As you pour the wine, you’ll immediately notice its beautifully deep, dark color—the inspiration behind its name. You’ll then pick up its intriguing aromas of ripe black fruits and wild herbs, followed by a wonderfully concentrated, well-structured palate. It’s an ideal match for roasted meats, firm cheeses and more hearty, flavorful foods.
