Wine Advocate ReviewRated 90The 2010 Le Volte dell"Ornellaia is big, juicy and expressive in this vintage. There is firmness of tannin that is unusual for this wine but that works beautifully here in preserving freshness and structure. Dark red cherries, flowers, mint and licorice are some of the many notes that emerge from this beautifully balanced Le Volte. In 2010 the blend is 50 Merlot, 30 Sangiovese and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. As always, Le Volte is made from a blend of estate-grown grapes and purchased wine. Anticipated maturity 2012-2017.Le Volte dell"Ornellaia appears a rich, intense ruby, and offers fragrant red berryfruit, with subtle spice and flowers. It has a rich mouthfeel, with glossy tannins that are smooth and lively at the same time. It progresses through crisp fruit and spice in the mouth, to a rich, savory finish of near-endless length. 50 Merlot, 30 Sangiovese, 20 Cabernet Sauvignon
