"Odedi"

9.1

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of red and black fruits with light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, light oak, licorice, chocolates, spices and earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Grenache blend is starting to drink very nicely now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Elegant and rich. Interesting and engaging. A very traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape in style.

Well balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of all 13 allowed grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but mostly Grenache. Hand picked and whole cluster. Aged for 2 years in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

At the Filipino dinner at the Downs Club. Definitely an aged Riesling with a whiff of Kerosene. Aged in the Rockford Cellars. Still some citrus evident with low acid. — 4 years ago

Rather delish! Heavy on the cola notes with lots fresh strawberry but a nice bit of minerality to boot. Could be a party person. Could be wearing a tiara. Could be the type of person who wears a tiara to party. Totally worth it. — 5 years ago

2018 vintage. Decent nose but super tight currently and loathe to name names and drop specifics. Great (9.6) body tho. Will pick up more and definitely decant and wait hand and foot on the current remaining bottle when opened in the next few months. — 4 years ago

Founded at end of 1800 when Lavinio Franceschi, Florence land owner, visited the area. Over a century later, Tenuta covers an area of 530 hectares (140 planted with vines; 50 with olive trees). Aged in French oak for 36 months, 100% Sangiovese hand picked from 20-year old vines. A Gem! Deep Ruby. rich berry fruit aromas with complex spice. Palate has rich berry fruit flavors, baked cherry, with tobacco, cacao & subtle spice. Soft tannins, long finish ending with seductive earthy tones. Nice, aged well! — 4 years ago

Honestly such a delicious and subtle red to pair with cheese or an evening with friends. Keep a few bottles of this one readily on hand, it fares well in so many spaces. — 5 years ago

This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley is drinking very nicely now. Rich yet Elegant and fruit forward.

Soft, spicy and interesting, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

I had it a year ago and it is already drinking better. Will continue to age nicely in the 7 to 10 years.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
