"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and blue fruits on the nose with chocolate notes, light oak, spices, light vegetables, herbs and tobacco leaf.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate, with black currants, blueberries, sweet cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf, peppercorn and a hint of green tea.

Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old Red Blend from Napa Valley's Stags Leap District is drinking very nicely now. Fruit forward and tasty. Soft, smooth and spicy. Well balanced and complex.

Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to age nicely over the next five to seven years.

A blend of 52% Cabernet Franc, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 3% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in 80% French oak barrels (30% new) and 20% American oak barrels. A small production of only 9 barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Strong nose of black and blue fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice and chocolates.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

This is a very tasty GSM blend from Chalk Hill in California. Fruit forward and elegant. Spicy and entertaining.

Showing good balance with nice complexity, and a soft mouth feel.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

I had it before, and this time I gave it a light chill and had it by the pool.
Paired nicely with the French Brie cheese.

A blend of 66% Grenache, 21% Syrah and 13% Mourvèdre. Aged in Hungarian oak barrels. A small production of only 2,600 bottles.

This is a delicious rosé, 52% Mourvèdre and 48% Grenache. The fruit is wonderfully ripe and the wine has some right to it making it very flexible at the table. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, red currant, plum, blackberry - there is a lot to love in this crisply acid wine — 3 years ago

My kind of Aglianico- that remarkable squid black color, grippy on palate with raw tannins receding but gnawing, nipping at your heels. Went perfectly with roast carrots & marscapone, homemade tagliatelle & braised chicken, & Milanese. Plus a QPR on restaurant wine list for 52$. — 2 years ago
