"Odedi"

9.0

Dark purple in color with medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose with red fruits, flowers spices, light oak and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolate, light red candy, coffee and black pepper.

Medium on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a young Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands in California. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.

This 4 year old Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is already drinking nicely, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 11 months in (41% new) French oak barrels. A small production of only 6,100 bottles.

13.4% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

2020 vintage. An excellent introduction to the grand vin at a fraction of the price. Highly recommended. Abv. 14%. — 2 months ago

2022 vintage. Deep dark red colour. Raspberries, flowers and cedar. Concentrated, intense. Combines power and elegance. Many Crus Classés would be very satisfied with this quality for their grand vin. Henri Lurton stated that he made his best wines ever in 2022 (which is saying a lot given the track record of this Château), and you can see why with this Baron de Brane. One can only imagine the quality of the grand vin in 2022! Anyway, this is one of the finest wines one could encounter for 30 euros. Abv. 14%. — 5 months ago

[60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, 5% Carignan, 5% Mourvedre] Still very grapey and primary, I actually tasted this wine in barrel in May of 2019 at the Chateau, and it tastes like it’s barely evolved since then, great acid, ripe, round tannins, long, lingering finish, this should easily age another 10 years based on my history of tasting this cuvée since the 1998!! — 6 months ago

I had this a few months ago, and grabbed another because it's very good. Decanter says 94 points, which is too generous, but it's a solid Rioja.

The oldest of a 4 bottle vertical I bought a few weeks ago. In a perfect window. Made a vodka sauce and wow. Great compliment. Fresh herbs after an hour of being open. Can’t wait to try the other 3 years. — 6 months ago

8.9

Clear, medium ruby to garnet in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of black cherries, cassis, and graphite; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and intense primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, black cardamom, and wet gravel with a medium finish. This wine is simple, but balanced. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 6 months ago
