Three Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "The 2017 version of their Oreno, a blend of Merlot, Cab. Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, is excellent, unveiling notes of wild berries softened by hints of cinnamon and cloves, then mineral accents. On the palate it enters pleasant, relaxed and soft, with nicely-woven tannins and a lovely, long finish. (2020)"
96 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Powerful on the nose with notes of strawberries, wild strawberries and many white flowers in the background. I like the "core" of the bouquet with notes of blood orange and a subtle hint of freshly cut grass. Full-bodied, with tannins of exceptional quality and fine texture, and a brilliant finish with vibrant and bright acidity. A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. 18 months of aging in new and second-use French oak barriques. Impressive. Best from 2020 to 2024. (Dec 2019)"
95 points James Suckling: "A fresh yet rich and dense red with cherries, berries, light cream and hints of hazelnuts. Full body, soft and layered tannins and a fruity finish. Reserved and tight. Shows balance for 2017. Better after 2021. (11/7/19)"
95 points The Tasting Panel: "[$115 list] Upright and austere, this blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot matured in new French oak for 18 months. Chocolate adds seamless dimension, while slate and balsamic place aromatics and a rich mouthfeel against a velvety tannin backdrop. (Jul/Aug 2021)"
95 points Falstaff Guide: "Clear, rich ruby. Opens with distinctly savoury components of cardamom and white pepper, followed by plenty of elderberry. Powerful, structured tannins, builds up plenty of drive, only appears somewhat encapsulated on the finish. (Jan 2021)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2017 Oreno is an attractive, expressive wine done in a style that is all about richness. Black cherry, mocha, expresso, licorice and sweet French oak infuse the 2017 with notable depth. In 2017, Oreno is not quite as sumptuous as it can be, but it certainly has plenty of its trademark exuberance. Drink: 2022-232. (Sep 2020)"
