Merchant's description
Ornellaia is renowned as one of Italy’s premier producers and shows remarkable consistency. The 2005 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Ready to drink this shows classy definition in its wild berry fruit, spice and graphitey minerality. Understated but refined.
