Tenuta Sette Ponti Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno 2023 750ml

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. (James Suckling)

Dark and complex wine, earthy and concentrated yet balanced. Vibrant aromas of cassis, violets, licorice, pencil shavings and graphite. Full-bodied, it displays a dynamic palate with dense, velvety tannins, fruit concentration and crisp, integrated acidity, which keeps it in balance. 45% merlot, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 20% cabernet franc, and 5% petit verdot. Gorgeous now, but even better in two or three years and beyond.

This is concentrated with cherry, blackberry, plum, iron, sweet spice and tar flavors. Muscular tannins leave a firm grip on the finish, yet overall, this red feels balanced and crunchy. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2027 through 2040. 1,500 cases imported.

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. (Bruce Sanderson)
