"Odedi"

9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Complex nose of red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, dark coffee, light mildew, spices, tobacco leaf and light forest floor.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, licorice and black pepper.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 32 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Carmel Valley is still drinking beautifully, but not at its peak anymore.

Still showing enough fruits for the acidity, tangy and interesting. Complex and very entertaining.

It's always a great experience to drink these kind of aged wines.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a Single Vineyard. Unfiltered and unfined.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Lemon, apricot, peach fruit on nose plus some saline. Same on taste with peach skin. Notable is the balanced acidity through to long finish. Tasted with Pepe Galante. Should have bought more than one bottle. Very nice. — 2 years ago

I tried this vintage 4 years ago. It is still tart and dry with lively fruit and high acid. The nose exhibits cranberry, almond, American oak (coconut), and cinnamon. The palate reveals cranberry, oak, cedar, aniseed, leather, tart strawberry, and tart cherry. Medium plus tannins, medium plus alcohol, and excellent zippy (high) acid. — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, toast. Tannins and acidity have an interesting competition. Like it. The great Pepe Galante! — a year ago

‘Cowboys Cuvée’ Red wine blend says the label. Pours a dark and stormy red of blood. Smells like wet stones and gauze. B.O. too. Hint something herbal. Flavors are chewy and fresh. Herbal streak. Fresh basil, mint, marjoram, etc. Plenty of tannins. Cherry cola and fresh blackberry too. This is a pretty standard Mertiage type CA fancy red. Checks in at 14.0% ABV so that seems like a mature grape and a long hangtime. Nice stuff. Big, lush and fairly complex. Hint too much spice box and just a bit of the dreaded vanilla oak sauce though. Otherwise excellent stuff. — 4 years ago

Inky garnet in the glass. Smoky bing cherry, clove and baking spices on the nose. Silky on the palate with vanilla and ripe raspberry, very fine tannins. Perfect pairing with Salmon in a Honey, Soy, Garlic and Dijon glaze! — 5 years ago

Petroleum, honeysuckle, yellow cake, and lavender nose. On the palate more petrol, peach nectar, honey, ruby red grapefruit, gunpowder, white pepper, with a powerful petrol after nose. I might have called this a quality german trocken Riesling in a blind test. This is a fabulous Viognier in the french style. — 6 years ago
