"Odedi"

9.3

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose and full bodied, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, earth, peppercorn, espresso and chocolates.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a gorgeous 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Big, bold and beautiful.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. The high alcohol is very much integrated by now.

Elegant and robust. Rich and extracted. Tangy and interesting.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is very consistent. I had the 2014 vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking even better now.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

8000th wine on here and it’s a doozy! Beautiful raspberry and blueberry fruit, exotic barrel notes, integrated perfectly. White pepper. Stems. Umami. Super exotic. Top notch barrels. Lighter than expected. Best domestic syrah ever? Kinda… thanks for tuning in! 8000 now and more to go. Maybe not Hahahha — 3 months ago

This was 100% CF - no sign of age, inky, w/impressive aromas of cherry cough drop, herbaceous, white pepper, medicinal - old school vibes on nose. Bit unruly on palate, definitely felt the heat and finish had some astringency. Not a huge fan of Paso Robles fruit… Still a decent quaff and scratches itch for varietal CF. — 3 months ago

Kept this one for a while. Probably needs a longer decant. Very fresh despite age but restrained. — 2 months ago
