What We Think
Vin Chicago: 92+ Points
(11/2023) Wow, what a wine! There's no debating that this is the best second label Super Tuscan for the money we've tasted. The hype for the 2021 vintage in Tuscany is evident with one glass of this incredible value. Bordeaux meets Chianti Classico. This young red gives dusty red fruit deliciousness. A must-buy!
What Critics Think
Wine Spectator : 92 Points
(10/31/2023) Shows expressive, succulent flavors of black currant, blackberry, cassis and lavender that need time to integrate with the firm, dusty tannins, some of which come from the oak. Comes together even better with a few minutes of air. Offers fine length. Decant now. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Best from 2024 through 2033.
Wine Advocate : 91 Points
(3/31/2023) The Ornellaia 2021 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia offers bright and youthful fruit with dark cherry, cassis, spice and red rose. This wine is composed of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. You feel the acidity of the Italian grape and the rich fruit from the two French varietals. The wine is tonic and tight with mid-weight intensity. This is the entry-level red from one of Italy's most iconic estates. Drink Date: 2023 - 2026.
Wine Enthusiast : 92 Points
(12/1/2023) The nose blends rich fruit notes of cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and raspberry with a woody, earthy, slightly herbal savoriness. The cherries and blood orange star on the palate, with the savory elements continuing to make themselves known before a closing kick of chili heat. Vibrant acidity bounces around chalky tannins.
James Suckling : 92 Points
(8/7/2023) A firm and silky wine with bark, berry, chocolate and light coffee aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy textured finish. Merlot with cabernet sauvignon and some montepulciano. Drinkable and fresh. Drink now.
