"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and black fruits with light oak, chocolates, herbs, spices and peppercorn.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and cherries.

Fruit forward and complex. Elegant and nicely balanced.

I had the 2020 vintage recently, and this 6 year old is drinking much better. Will continue to age nicely in the next few years.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and a good food wine too.

A blend of 60% Merlot, 20% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 12 months. A tiny production of only 2,400 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

Another super interesting wine by Deirdre Heikin. This blend is 90% Marquette and 10% La Crescent. Two northern american grape variety and the wine shows that non vitis vinifera varieties can make very good wine. The nose is a bit foxy at first, and the taste is then very interesting, good acidity level, slightly sour, notes of herbs and berries but still very round. This profiles definitely reminds me of alpine wines such as Mondeuse or even l’Etraire de la Dui, although these are vitis vinifera.

Sign of a real good wine: this bottle only got better on day 2 and 3...

Great job by pionneer La Garagista! — 6 years ago

Rating for the Marquette, which was actually the grape which is a relative of Pinot, but nothing really like a Pinot. But I really liked it! Spicy, almost Syrah-ish, with nice velvety tannins. — 4 years ago

It wasn’t incredibly tasty but totally fascinating. It gave the impression of being carbonated somehow. Really weird but cool. Would buy again — 6 years ago

Delicious Marquette, slightly spritzy, offdry, fruit is present but not over the top. Organic cultivation, will try others by this local producer from my area. — 7 years ago
