2015 with Cosi Cucina pasta take out. Very good wine. — 4 months ago
Had La Macchiona as part of a wine pairing at Septime, so I had to grab a bottle from this producer when I saw it. Not sure what I expected but it was much richer, fuller, and sweeter than I thought. The sweetness slowly wore off giving way to ripe cherries and rhubarb as it opened. Stood up well to the Mediterranean food of all things we had with it and actually quite a nice compliment to it in many ways. Lacked some depth but primary characteristics were strong and carried this wine beyond my expectations. — 6 months ago

"Odedi"
This is a delicious and restrained Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and eucalyptus.
Grippy finish with raspberries.
This 6 year old Cabernet is still young and very tight. Might be in its dumb phase at this point, so it would be nice to try it again in 3 years.
Needs 10 years to mature properly.
The eucalyptus notes overwhelm the black fruits at the moment.
Showing good structure and nice complexity.
