"Odedi"

9.1

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 9 year old Grenache from California is drinking very nicely now. Light and engaging with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant, spicy and easy drinking.

Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 2 hours. I did not decant it and let it open up in the glass.

I had this vintage 4 years ago, and decided to give it a few more years in the bottle to mature, and see how it evolves. Good call on my part. It is really tasty now. So much better.

I gave it a light chill and had it with light appetizers.

A small production of only 10 barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Lightning level reduction and acidity. But with a warm body of integrated oak. Tasted Grand Cru level. So lucky to have experienced this. — a year ago

Whoa there’s so much happening from cream soda and orange blossoms to vanilla lime livelyness…with a lightning rod running through-eth — 2 years ago

Like drinking lightning bolts ⚡️ Ripe green pear, white peach, tart citrus, zest and pith, citrus blossom, tea leaves, crushed chalk, a layer of spring honey just barely. Tense on day one with electric acidity. Day 2 showing more aromatic complexity and a kiss of breadth on the palate. So much acid and rocks. Day 4 still fresh as a daisy — 4 years ago

Beautiful wine. Silky, slightly smoky and easy to drink. So often you hear fruit forward, it is not. Fruit on the end makes it juicy and happy. 😎🍷🇺🇸 — 5 years ago

Delicious BC Pinot from the Canyonview Vineyard. Strawberries, hay, mushrooms and earthy notes surround the palette. Love Lightning Rock wines…small vineyard who take extreme pride in their craft. — 2 years ago

Smoky caramel-mocha nose shows broom straw and bamboo, vanilla bean, graphite, tea biscuit, cardamom, cinnamon-apple, attic nutmeg and cilantro. Rich and chocolate-y mouthfeel with warm cinnamon heat is exemplary. First taste puts the dully oaken nose to shame for insufficient suggestion. This thing brings a support beam of heavy oak in abundance. Cedar, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, tobacco; the gangs all here. Coffee is the magnet in the middle; two sugars, black, a millisecond before the heavy cream and drizzled caramel. Buckwheat, buckthorn, and dried pineapple are the lightning in this dark storm. Add ginger and dried lime and a drop of Fernet Branca and you’ve nailed it. Don Quixote used to nip this for breakfast. #brandy #cardinalmendoza #spanishbrandy #brandydejerez #soleragranreserva #jerez #sanchezromatehermanos #sanchezromate #grapespirit — 4 years ago
