Unctuous red and black fruits, tea, cocoa, earth, strong but integrated tannins adding a solid structure and heft. Absolutely delicious. Needed a good two hours to get booming but super. — 2 months ago

Holding up the best of a trio of sketchy old Loire reds. With air this reveals black currant, mesquite, tobacco, tomato leaf and slightest hint of raspberry. Still excellent but needs food — 3 months ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Sweet and very fruity on the nose.

Full-bodied and bold with medium minus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity, with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, cooked prunes, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, dried figs, raisins, chocolates, light earth, bitter herbs and light barnyard.

Sweet finish with fine grained tannins.

This 9 year old Petite Sirah from California is enjoyable by itself or with food. Elegant and smooth. Fruit forward and robust.

Very much in your face kind of wine, although, I expected it to calm down by now. Feels more like a California Syrah at this point.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light cedar, licorice, spices, light vanilla, herbs, tobacco leaf, chocolates and peppercorn.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blackberries, plums, cherries, cedar, spices, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, earth, coffee, peppercorn and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa valley. Complex and nicely balanced. Spicy and entertaining.

Rich and fruit forward, and not in your face kind of Napa cabernet. Elegant and fruity, yet subdued some.

Needs 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.

I've had many different vintages of this wine and I really like this vintage.

Delicious now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like BBQ Meats.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.
