The Road That Led Tadeo Borchardt Here
The name Camino—Spanish for “road” or “journey”—is more than a label; it is a literal distillation of winemaker Tadeo Borchardt’s path to making wine under his own name. His journey began far from vineyards, in an Arizona classroom, before a growing fascination with wine led him from restaurant work in Scottsdale to a bold move to Sonoma County in 2002. From there, Tadeo honed his craft at Copain, expanded his perspective working harvests in New Zealand at Craggy Range, and deepened his philosophy through extensive travel in France and Italy. Since 2004, he has been a steady force at Neyers Vineyards in Napa Valley, eventually assuming head winemaking duties. After fifteen years of making wine for others, Camino represents the moment where experience, patience, and personal vision converge. A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of tasting these beautiful wines alongside Tadeo in the shop.
The Montecillo Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the purest statement of the site itself: dry-farmed, old-vine, and deeply concentrated, with the kind of structure and intensity that recalls classic, balanced Northern California Cabernet from an earlier era. From a section of over 60 year-old head trained vines. The wine shows aromas of charcoal, barbecue smoke, blackberry, and cassis, layered with forest floor, graphite, and subtle savory notes, leading to a full-bodied, juicy, and deeply textured palate. Firm yet balanced mountain tannins give the wine remarkable depth and longevity, making it a quietly powerful, old-school Cabernet built to reward both patience and pleasure.
