The 2009 Olmaia (Cabernet Sauvignon) is very pretty in this vintage. Layers of expressive red fruit, flowers, licorice and sweet herbs caress the palate as the wine shows off its radiant, engaging personality. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

Count Francesco Marone Cinzano is soft-spoken and reserved. He is also one of the most driven of Montalcino’s large landowners. A quiet, non-publicized conversion to biodynamic farming that has been underway for several years is typical of the way things are done at Col d’Orcia. Cinzano’s right-hand man, estate manager Edoardo Virano, has worked at Col d’Orcia since 1977 and has an intimate level of knowledge of the property and its history that is second to none. Col D’Orcia makes a wide range of wines, although it is the Brunelli that stand out most. In a typical vintage the Brunelli can be enjoyed a few years after release, but history continues to teach me that they bloom most fully between ages 20-30. Luckily, the estate has an extensive library of older wines that are re-released with some frequency, which gives consumers the opportunity to taste older vintages with perfect provenance, something I have been able to do on a few occasions.

More New World in character than Bordeaux, this red exhibits bright black currant and resinous oak flavors on a rich frame. Moderate length.
