You won't want to miss out on these 6 bottles of Rocca di Frassinello Ornello 2008.  It is a wine of outstanding personality. Deep ruby red in color, with pleasant notes of Chocolate and vanilla. Intense and full—bodied with a long finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of red meat dishes and aged cheeses.

According to the Wine Advocate:

The 2008 Ornello is the newest entry in the estate’s lineup. A blend of 40% Sangioveto, 20% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. Ornello is fermented in stainless steel, racked into cement for the malolactic fermentation and subsequently aged in French oak barrels, 30% new. The 2008 flows with gorgeous dark fruit, herbs, mocha and sweet French oak in a big, full-bodied style, showing notable intensity in its fruit, terrific balance and a long, impeccably refined finish. It is a superb first effort. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018.

Score: 92. —Antonio Galloni, October 2010.
