Notes:

Wine Spectator, Oct. 2008
($110) Shows loads of black licorice, blackberry and toasty oak. Full-bodied,with supersilky tannins and a long, long finish. Has wonderfulconcentration and balance. Structured. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot andSangiovese. Best after 2013. 3,250 cases made.    96 points and #15 in Top 100 of 2008

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Aug 2009
($105) The 2006 Oreno (50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot)combines elements of ripeness and firm, vibrant structure in abeautifully-balanced, gorgeous wine. Tar, smoke, licorice, new leatherand menthol notes emerge, adding layers of expressiveness to the darkfruit. This is a powerful Oreno made in a less immediate style than the2007. With time, though, the wines inner sweetness comes through,suggesting that this wine has a very bright future. Anticipatedmaturity: 2012-2021.   93 points
