Winemaker's Notes

Ornellaia 2021 is a masterful expression of Tuscan winemaking, epitomizing elegance and complexity. On the nose, it reveals a rich bouquet of blackberries, dark cherries, and cassis, intertwined with hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of violet. The palate is opulent yet refined, with velvety tannins and a full-bodied structure that balances power and grace. Layers of dark fruit flavors are complemented by notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a hint of spice, all seamlessly integrated. The wine's acidity provides a vibrant lift, leading to a long, lingering finish marked by a subtle minerality and a whisper of balsamic. Ornellaia 2021 is a harmonious blend that showcases the exceptional terroir of Bolgheri, promising both immediate pleasure and great aging potential.

Critic Ratings

James Suckling Review - Rated 99:
Aromas of blackcurrants, iodine, crushed stone, hints of mint and sage. Blue fruits. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that open with air. It’s racy and very long. Very tannin driven and energetic with power and focus. Muscular and very toned. This is the best Ornellaia for the cellar in years. Try after 2030.

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 98:
An intense red, defined by lively acidity and framed by dense, ripe tannins that showcase its black currant, blackberry, violet and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Iron and wild herb accents emerge as this plays out on the finish. Though expressive at this stage, this youthful version will benefit from time in bottle. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2046.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:

The Ornellaia 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia offers an extra layer of richness, generosity and plushness that shapes a very open-knit and exuberant Tuscan red. The blend is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. You feel the fruit and oak weight of the wine, the extract and the 15% alcohol content. All of these elements come together to big effect. From that power, you get black cherry, dark fruit, sweet spice and barbecue smoke. The fruit tannins are young, and this edition of Ornellaia proves worthy for medium or long-term drinking, especially as it softens up with more bottle age.
