"Odedi"

9.4

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, blackberries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, spices, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, spices, light vanilla, dark chocolates, licorice, peppercorn and coffee.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and extracted, fruit forward and elegant. Complex, well balanced and entertaining. A beautiful wine.

This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has good potential to become a 96 point wine.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

Grapes were aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of only 2,700 bottles.

15.1% alcohol by volume.

Notes of baked pineapple on the nose. Lifted, extravagant palate of roasted almonds and crème brûlée. Oily, viscous and heavy on the mid palate. Very little acidity to talk about. Finished with a hint of nutmeg and mango. Burgundy lovers should fall back. — a year ago

Drank like a Zinfandel with high alcohol, candied, fruit, and medium plus tannins. Hard to identify thIs as Cabernet despite the phenomenal pedigree — 3 years ago

For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds). — 5 years ago

This is a delicious Petit Verdot from Napa Valley.

Tasty right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours in the decanter.

Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, chocolates, tobacco leaf, spices, tar, peppercorn, dark coffee, earth and licorice.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate.

Loved the nose here.

9.1

I’ve had this vintage several times over the last few yrs. I had it two yrs ago w/ Andy Beckstoffer & Tor Kenward. This is the weakest link I’ve had. It simply lacked the proper storage of the previous bottles I’ve had.

The color is still dark and the fruit is still intact. But this bottle has just started its plum, date, dark raisin and fig stage. Let me say again…just.

This is 13% ABV…love it. As I do with many 80’s Napa & Bordeaux’s. It does get better with each coldish coravined sip.

The tannins are well resolved and there is complete integration & evolution. Ripe, juicy; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, dark spiced strawberries & circling raspberries. Potpourri, baking spice delight-soft clove, nutmeg, cinnamon stick & vanilla, understated caramel, dark chocolate baking bar to chocolate pudding, milk chocolate, moist herbs, hints of mushrooms, saline, dry soil/limestone powder, forest floor with leaves, used tobacco & leather, gentle graphite, moist clay, dark spice w/ mid palate heat, withering dark, red flowers, violets & lavender, round, rainfall acidity with a well balanced, elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and long sets on earth & spices. — 4 days ago

This 2001 Tor West Block is being poured by Tor himself at “From the Cellar” event at Pebble Beach Food & Wine was my favorite red from this particular event.

Tor is humble and a great Napa Ambassador. If you like Napa history, his book is a good read.

From the Cellar might be their best event dollar for dollar. All older wines being poured from larger formats.

Paired well with the Short Ribs. My second favorite dish of the event. — 5 months ago
