It shows a full and voluptuous style although it is hard to recognize the varietal characteristics given the various contrasting elements of the blend. You get the acidity of Sangiovese with the aromatic softness of both the Merlot and the Syrah backed by the natural structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Ornello may be lost among the vast sea of super Tuscan-inspired reds, but this wine shows very attractive features nonetheless. -Monica Larner<\/p>\n<p>2012 Rocca di Frassinello Ornello Maremma Toscana DOC &#8211;<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong> 90 pts.<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>James Suckling, October 2014<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\u201cCigar box, olive tapenade and Kirsch.
