This is a terrific set of new releases from Ornellaia. The 2018 reds in particular are just gorgeous. Gracious and medium in body, the 2018 encapsulate the personality and style of the year so well. A long, cool growing season yielded reds that are more about finesse than power.

Readers will find plenty to like in these new and upcoming releases from Ornellaia. The 2018s, which I tasted prior to bottling, show the mid-weight style of the year. The winemaking team led by Axel Heinz opted for longer macerations in 2018, with the goal of getting as much out of the wines as possible. Vintage 2017 posed an entirely different set of challenges. The harvest was early and condensed, while winemaking was much gentler.
