"Odedi"

9.1

Pale lemon in color.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, grapefruits, earth, green apples, herbs and minerals.

This is a tasty Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. Feels like a white Bordeaux.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

This was a delicious and easily drinkable wine. Not sweet, citrusy, notes of green apple. Paired well with cheese and sausage and baguette - had with @Maureen O'Neil and matt and Shelby on a picnic at kinsman. Definitely get again at Color. — 7 years ago

2018 Kinsman Eades Anjea… admittedly very young and still a little tannic, but unfurled a bit after time in the glass with a great nose and flavors of blackberries, blueberry pie, black cherries.. a hint of iron and herbs in the background! This will only get better with time! Even better the following day!! — a year ago

Bigger, and more powerful than other wines I’ve had from Sleeping Lady. Depth and intensity are remarkable — 5 years ago

I’m at 94-95 here. Upside over the next 5-10yrs.

Purchased during a visit to Melka back in ‘21. This 2017 ended up being the favorite red wine of the tasting (though the ‘16 SB was my overall favorite). Pritchard Hill fruit next to Ovid. 70 cab/20 CabFranc /10 petit Verdot.

Purple in the glass. Sports the entire fruit spectrum (red, blue, black) but trends darker toward the finish. Expensive oak but it’s really pretty (doesn’t come across as too oak driven). For the vintage, this is elegant and integrating nicely. Fruit is very pure (blueberries, blackberries, plum) with baking spices (cinnamon and vanilla) with a vein of mineral/graphite down the middle. Consumed from decanter over 3hrs and left a glass for the next day…improved over time, but this was already starting to open for business.

I opened this alongside two other 2017 Napa cabs with a small group for a check-in on the vintage. MacDonald was the winner, Kinsman Rhadamanthus was the most unique, this Melka fit in-between style wise (more modern than the other two). — a year ago
