Blackcurrants and black cherries with lovely flowers on the nose. Medium-bodied with ultra fine tannins that give focus and tension to the wine. Pretty and poised. A little shy now. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2027.

A new wine to the Place de Bordeaux this September. Dark bramble fruit and intense floral and savoury aromatics, liquorice and olive with blueberry and rose nuances. Succulent and mouthwatering yet tight and focussed, the tannins are grippy but give direction as opposed to weight or width. This remains quite straight on the palate, persistent in one line from start to finish. I love the juiciness though, the strawberry juice with herbal accents and clean iron, minerality that comes across as slightly tangy and spiced on the finish lasting with a savoury olive note. Feels well made, if still taught, with a playful core and lovely sense of place. A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot with an average vine age of 20-30 years. Ageing 18 months in small barrels and one year in bottle prior to release.

Deep, rich, lush, and full-bodied, the wine offers layers of ripe, lusciously-textured, sweet black cherries, with spice, cocoa, and espresso touches. Forward in style, this will drink well in its youth. Drink from 2024-2037.

The 2021 Oreno is composed of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it tumbles out with forthcoming notes of juicy black plums and baked blackberries followed by touches of garrigue, unsmoked cigars, and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is laden with ripe black fruits and savory accents, supported by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with compelling purity.

A blend of organic 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot (aged in barrique for 16 months), the 2021 Oreno comes in a heavy glass bottle and reveals richly concentrated aromas to match. You get black fruit, toasted barbecue spice, mahogany and smoke. There are pronounced herbal notes with grilled sage and rosemary. This wine definitely embraces a full-bodied, old-school style that is heavily influenced by Bordeaux. - Monica Larner

Fruity, floral aromas of dried cherries, raspberries and violets on the nose open up into more savory notes of pencil shavings and hot tar before a palate of more mixed berries rolls over savory, earthy notes, with a hint of orange pith adding astringency through a long, umami-rich finish. — Danielle Callegari

A juicy red marked by blueberry, boysenberry, cassis, wild herbs and oak spices. Reveals a line of dusty tannins, putting grip on the compact finish, yet this has freshness, ample fruit and persistence. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2036. 49,000 cases made.

The 2021 Oreno is soft, racy and quite expressive. Bright, red-toned fruit, spice, new leather, tobacco, cedar, mocha and dried herbs open with some coaxing. In this tasting the 2021 comes across a bit light, especially relative past vintages, suggesting perhaps an evolution in style that has not fully taken shape. -- Antonio Galloni
