"Odedi"

9.2

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of sweet cherries, currants, blueberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, milk chocolates, tobacco leaf and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs and spices.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa valley. Elegant and easy drinking. Fruit forward and complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (30% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. No formal notes due to the setting however, looking back on my previous notes, that assessment still applies. The 2017 Amador County continues to be an absolutely delicious expression of the variety. Drink now through 2032.  — 2 months ago

Still on A-R Old-Gamay Gate. Similar weight to the 20, but more mid-palate fruit and less bitter. Menopausal. — 4 months ago

Lovely foothills Syrah in a German-glass finished (it’s the closure/cork), at 17 years old still shows massive fruit, I’d say it’s mature, but very long, lingering finish, most amazing to me (for those of you who know Hank) is that this wine is 14.9% ABV!?!? — 2 months ago

Boardwalk Bellvue bar.
8/22 staycation.

Plum, raspberries, juicy and fruitful but not overpowering sweet. Dryer than Coopers. Better than coopers. The nose is very strong and elegant. Goes down smooth. Has an "evaporation" effect on the end. — 2 months ago
