"Odedi"

9.2

Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, black pepper and herbs.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs and licorice.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, extracted and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, complex and engaging.

This 8 year old Cabernet is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Chewy, and a great sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 12 months.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Santo Wines — Santorini Assyrtiko 2025
Santorini PDO, Greece 🇬🇷

Overview
100% Assyrtiko from selected mountain vineyards on Santorini, grown in the island’s arid, volcanic, low-yielding conditions. This is a particularly graceful expression of the variety—less about sheer intensity and more about finesse, freshness, and that unmistakable Santorini personality.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh lemon, citrus peel, green apple, and delicate white fruit, with subtle herbal notes and a distinctly stony, volcanic character.

Mouthfeel
Light- to medium-bodied, agile, and beautifully vibrant. Crisp acidity drives the palate, while pronounced minerality and a subtle saline edge add dimension. There is even a very distant suggestion of fizz that gives the wine extra energy without distracting from its refinement.

Food Pairings
Grilled octopus, fresh fish, oysters, shrimp, Greek salads, lemon-herb chicken, or simply grilled Mediterranean vegetables.

Verdict
One of the most delicious Santorini Assyrtikos I’ve tasted recently. Delicate yet expressive, mineral-driven without becoming austere, and wonderfully refreshing. It captures Assyrtiko’s serious side while remaining incredibly inviting from the first sip.

Did You Know?
Santorini’s Assyrtiko vines are traditionally grown in basket-shaped kouloura, protecting the grapes from the island’s fierce winds and intense sun. Many vineyards are also ungrafted, rooted directly into the island’s volcanic soils.

🍷 Personal Pick
A little Santorini jewel. The finesse grabbed me immediately, but it’s the combination of stony minerality, salinity, freshness, and effortless energy that makes me want this in my cellar many times over. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby color with a slight brick rim. Aromas of cherry, bramble berries, leather, orange zest and dusty earth. Flavors of black cherry/berry/raspberry/plum fruit, blueberries, tobacco and savory spices. Intense earthy quality on the long finish. Mouth watering acidity and very silky tannins. Medium-plus body. A bit of heft and intensity. Solid weeknight option. — 3 months ago

This is a serious wine - understated, tannic, alot going on. Agree w other reviewers that this vintage may be a bit young to crack open - didn't feel fully integrated yet. — 20 days ago

98 was not a great vintage and why Giacosa bottled the SS as a red label has long been a bit of a mystery. There’s a lot in this wine to like, and no reason to leave it sitting in the cellar. Fully mature, ample bricking, softer but still lively fruit, rich mouthfeel with classic sous bois, a bit of iron, red berry and herbal overlay, and soft maybe a bit overripe tannin. Lovely, but not near Giacosa’s most memorable SSRs. — 2 months ago

9.1

Blend of Corvina (60%), Corvinone (20%), Rondinella(10%), Croatina (5%) and Oseleta (5%). Dark ruby color. Aromas of dried red and black fruit, diesel fumes, leather and a bit of vanilla. Flavors of intense black berry/cherry/plum fruit, tobacco and sweet baking spices. The vanilla note is present on the long and lingering persistent finish. Velvety texture and harmonious with some noticeable alcohol heat. Bold, rich and intense. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 7 months ago

Pours a medium, slightly faded garnet rim, opening with an intense and highly expressive nose showing advanced tertiary evolution. On the palate, it exhibits a firm, full-bodied structure driven by ripe, integrated tannins and a distinctly mature, savory depth. The texture remains smooth, carrying through to a finish with harmonious spices—a fully evolved bottle to be consumed in the very near future. — a month ago

One of the best langhe nebbiolos I’ve had recently, especially for a relatively reasonable price on the list at Leon’s. And a great pairing with pork braciole as well. Lots of fruit, but still quite refined, with great texture and acid. Quite pretty and delicious. — 6 months ago
