The cabernet sauvignon character comes through nicely in this red, particularly on the palate, with currants, both red and black, as well as dried flowers and cedar. Some lead pencil as well. Medium body, with polish...

This wine always brings the finesse, with a medium intensity jewel-like colour and a clear focus on red fruits, raspberry, cranberry, touch of salinity brought by its location close to the sea, layered with dried roses...

The deep red-colored 2022 Orma envelops aromas of oak spice, toasted cedar, cassis, tobacco, scrubby wild herbs, and fresh leather. It fills the palate without being weighty and is full-bodied, with plush, ripe tannins...

First released in 2005 as a special project of Tenuta Sette Ponti's Antonio Moretti, Orma translates to “mark” or “footprint”. A blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc, the wine is aged for 12 months in French barriques. Delighting critics and connoisseurs alike, this single-estate Super Tuscan has received many awards and accolades.

The 2022 Orma [Proprietary Blend] from Tuscany's Bolgheri region is a red wine that epitomizes both finesse and complexity. This proprietary blend, primarily comprised of Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, showcases the excellence of Tuscan winemaking with a Bordeaux influence.

Jane Anson from janeanson.com scored this wine a solid 94, highlighting its medium intensity, jewel-like color, and focus on red fruits such as raspberry and cranberry. Anson describes the wine as layered with "dried roses, cassis bud, orange peel, savoury white pepper and mint leaf," adding that it has a touch of salinity due to its proximity to the sea. She notes the wine's clear Tuscan interpretation of Bordeaux grapes, making it a noteworthy selection. The wine spends one year in the bottle after barrel aging before release, adding to its depth and complexity. Anson also mentions the vineyard's unique soils of clay, gravel, and sand, situated just 15 meters above sea level, which contribute to its distinct character. However, she points out that the heavy bottle feels a bit out of place.

James Suckling from jamessuckling.com awarded this wine an impressive 97 points, praising its Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics, evident in the currant flavors—both red and black—along with dried flowers and cedar notes. Suckling also detects hints of lead pencil, attributing to the wine's medium body, polished texture, and overall finesse. He describes the wine as having "lovely length and grace," noting it as a move towards better balance and energy for Orma. Suckling advises that it’s best enjoyed after 2026 but acknowledges its attractiveness even in its youth.

In summary, the 2022 Orma [Proprietary Blend] is a sophisticated and well-balanced red wine. It is marked by its elegant combination of red fruits, floral notes, and subtle salinity, making it a commendable selection for enthusiasts of Tuscan and Bordeaux styles. This wine is poised to age gracefully, making it a worthy addition to any collection.
