Tasting Notes

WS94

Rich and dense, but elegant, with a dusty swath of tannins coating the finish. Black cherry, black currant and mineral flavors hold court, with a fresh, balanced feel on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2019 through 2032. 5,500 cases made.

WA93

The 2015 Oreno is Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. This nicely balanced effort shows rich color saturation and thick lines. The robust-blended red exhibits black fruit flavors followed by spice, tobacco and crushed granite or limestone. The bouquet is layered and deep. In terms of mouthfeel, the wine offers lots of density and power. It is firm and powerful and the tannins will require another few years of cellar aging before they soften. Oreno likes a warm vintage and it gets that in 2015.
