"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose of red and blue fruits with light cedar, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth, green beans, light cloves, light vegetables, tobacco leaf, black tea and black pepper.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, currants, cooked plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, herbs, peppercorn and green vegetables.

Tangy finish with medium tannins and raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley in California. Fruity and entertaining. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Showing lots of earth notes at this point.

Showing great complexity, especially on the nose, and easy drinking right out of the bottle. I did not decant it and let it open in the bottle.

This 11 year old Cabernet Sauvignon gets earthier as it opens up, and feels like a California Cabernet with a touch of old world.

Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had it 6 years ago, and it is drinking better now.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. A small production of only 1,400 bottles.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

Slightly cloudy, amber, cherry juice! Slight fizz at the end but could that be from my overheated and broken wine fridge? Possibly 0 years pas the peak but still amazing. #winebid — 8 years ago

Holy black pepper and spicy tannins. This needs to slow-ox for a few hours and should be singing when that pork is done — 10 years ago

Decanter worthy! Wild cassis to luxury leather. Truly one of the best California Cabernets I have ever had, the other was 1984 Mayacamus Cabernet. Next up - 1988 Nalle Family wines Cabernet. — 11 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, chocolates and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 9 year old Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley is still drinking beautifully, but will not last long, so drink up. Still holds enough acidity to balance the fruits.

Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and spicy. Complex and engaging.

I had this vintage 4 years ago, and it is drinking so much better now.

Delicious by itself as a sipping wine.

A field blend of 91% Zinfandel, 5% Petite Sirah and 4% Carignan. Aged for 11 months in (25% New) French oak barrels. A small production of less than 4,000 bottles.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

This has a very RRV characteristic that I don't normally see in Dry Creek, except maybe Nalle. It has a lifted bright bramble cranberry fruit I love and a transparancy. It reminds me very much of the Harvest Moon Pitts home vineyard but a bit softer and riper.. I love this wine. ( also a bit higher in ABV than Harvest Moon.) No apparent oak whatsoever. Excellent. Want more and let age 2 more years. — 10 years ago

I love this producer, but this is the worst name of a wine, ever. When I bought these over 3 years ago, Doug told me to hold a couple and let them age. He was right. Full bodied Rosé with spicy red fruit. Reminiscent of Bandol with a few years in it, with more body and richness. — 11 years ago

Lovely full bodied Chardonnay. Nose of pear, warm sugar, golden apple, and toasted almond. Lemon curd on the palate with quince notes and of course some tropical as it warmed. Caramel and creme brûlée finish. — 12 years ago

Dark purple in color with a wide purplish/ reddish rim.

Sweet nose of blueberries, cherry pie, oak, spices, tobacco, brown sugar, licorice and light herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, currants, plums, cherries, wood, spices, dark chocolates, light earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Fine grained tannins on the finish with tangy raspberries.

This is a very enjoyable Zinfandel based blend from Dry Creek Valley. Showing mild complexity at this point, with a nice, smooth mouthfeel.

This 3-year-old is starting to drink nicely, and will get better in the next few years. Easy drinking and good by itself.

An elegant style of Zinfandel. Not in your face kind of wine.

Good right out of the bottle and good for parties.

A blend of 60% Zinfandel and 40% Cabernet sauvignon. Aged for 11 months in (20% new) French Oak barrels. Only 373 cases made.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

Last bottle I have, but hell, why wait when it's peaking like this.
Actually it's reminiscent of old-school Rioja.

Very, very focused and bright with pure fruit and great transparency shine in this one. Wonderful acidity, round medium tannic structure, and elegance in smoothness. Black raspberry, blackberry, tobacco, vanilla, and some stems in the flavor aroma profile. — 12 years ago
