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, finesse and beauty. Lovely length and grace. This is a move towards better balance and energy for Orma. One to watch. A blend of mostly merlot with cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. Best after 2026, but already a very attractive young wine.

This is a blend of organic 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc from a 20-year-old vineyard with east-west exposures. The 2022 Orma shows inky dark richness with oaky notes of spice and savory tobacco. The wine is thickly textured with ripe, syrupy fruit. There are sweet tannins in this hot vintage. Production is 34,000 bottles.
