🇮🇹 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia 2014

Experience the refined character of the 2014 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, a Super Tuscan wine that exemplifies the elegance of Italian winemaking.

Critic Reviews and Scores:

  • Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 94 points. "The 2014 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia reverts to a style and personality reminiscent of the mid-1990s. The wine shows a tight, silky, and determined approach with sweet fruit nuances of blackberry and dark currant, complemented by spice, leather, and tobacco."

     

  • James Suckling: 90 points. "Starts out with aromas of black currant and cherry, followed by flavors of herb, tobacco, iron, and spice. Turns dense and tannic in the end. Elegant and complex overall, but this needs to resolve the tannins and integrate the oak."

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: Deep ruby red.

  • Nose: Aromas of black currant, cherry, and herbs, with hints of tobacco and spice.

  • Palate: Full-bodied with firm tannins, featuring flavors of dark fruit, iron, and a touch of oak, leading to a complex finish.

The Story Behind the Wine:

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, established in 1981 in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, is renowned for producing exceptional Super Tuscan wines. The 2014 vintage is a blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 20% Petit Verdot, and 14% Cabernet Franc. Despite a challenging growing season with a cool summer and late harvest, the advanced age of the vines and their extensive root systems preserved fruit quality, resulting in a wine of elegance and complexity. 

Pairing Suggestions:

This distinguished red pairs wonderfully with:

  • Grilled Meats: Enhances flavors of grilled steak or lamb.

  • Aged Cheeses: Complements mature cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino.

  • Game Dishes: Pairs well with venison or wild boar stews.
