2009 Wine - Red Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

2009 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia (Tuscany, Italy)
Wine - Red $189.99 (750mL)

One of our favourite Super Tuscans, the record of consistently great wines from Ornellaia is undeniable. The 2009 is yet another great vintage for this great house (hot on the heals of the superb 2006 and 2007 and 2008). Many of you have verticals going of this wine, and as this is very limited, please purchase yours early to avoid disappointment.

The 2009 Ornellaia caresses the palate with layers of seamless, radiant fruit. Sweet red berries, mocha, flowers, new leather and spices are some of the many notes that are layered in this sumptuous, totally beautiful wine. The 2009 stands out for its silky tannins and phenomenal overall balance. This is one of those wines that will probably enjoy a long drinking window. There is little question the ability to blend grape varieties was a huge help in this vintage. In one of my blind tastings, the 2009 made a very eloquent case for itself as the wine of the vintage. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. In 2009 winemaker Axel Heinz used the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc ever in Ornellaia and gave the wine less time in oak, both with the goal of preserving as much freshness as possible. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029.
