"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing plums, currants, light wood, earth, spices, coffee, herbs, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, black pepper, pencil lead and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Margaux. Nicely balanced and easy drinking. Fruit forward and elegant.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel, spicy and Interesting.

This 10 year old from the great 2016 vintage is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Needed a few hours to open up properly, which I didn't have, and it might have been a bit better with more airtime. Already enjoyable even by itself, and a good food wine too.

A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. Aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon, although still very young.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

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

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Medium plus on the finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime.

Not very big, but it's nice to see this moderate alcohol version of a Napa Cabernet.

Wine Spectator 95 points.

Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Tasty and spicy. Delicious and engaging.

Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 32 months in (100% new) French oak barrels.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

Dense Ruby in colour. Oaky notes with ripe red cherry and raspberry notes on nose and palate. Medium weight. A producer I had never seen before a tasting at the Downs Club and I bought 2 bottles to try at $32 each so it has good QPR and from the reputable Padthaway district. — 6 years ago

Stags' Leap Winery was one of the early pioneers in establishing Petite Sirah as a premium varietal. The vines date back to 1893, but the block is actually a field blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% other unknown varietals.
Our group tasted the 1977 - 1992 vintages (32 to 47 years old). The 1977 was my favorite along with the group’s. — 2 years ago

9.5

Vino mexicano con cuerpo robusto, color rubi intenso y semi turbio con sedimentos en copa. Tánico con notas de roble, vainilla, sotobosque, zarzamora y canela. Por supuesto que tiene sabor salino característico de la región y unas ligeras notas de pimiento verde al final de cada sorbo.
Astringencia es media y la permanencia es alta. — 6 years ago

55 percent Merlot, 32 percent Cab, 7 percent Cab Franc, 5 percent Petit Verdot, 1 percent Malbec. Beautiful fragrance. Tannins in Cab have mellowed so great balance. Maybe the best blend we have had. April 2020. — 6 years ago
