Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Nice fruity nose with strawberries, cherries, raspberries, light oak, earth, vanilla, licorice, smoke, barnyard, bitter vegetables, herbs, spices and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with strawberries, raspberries, wood, spices, peppercorn, green herbs, vegetables, earth, leaves, tobacco and dark coffee.

Medium on the finish with fine tannins and bitter greens.

This is a nice Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. Well balanced and fruity with mild complexity and a soft mouthfeel. Drinking nicely now.

Good by itself and good right out of the bottle. Better as it opens up and gets some tannins (30 minutes).

14.5% alcohol by volume.

85 points.

$35.

Red cherry, pomegranate, with a finish of wood spice and plum. Great on a warm evening. #vinessewines

The fruit character of a traditional pino noir with the earthy spice of a cab, this is such an interesting and nice wine. Blackberry raspberry and plum with herbs and spice.

Has a great smell but an almost tangy taste with no finish. I wouldn’t recommend.

Very light and okay. Drinkable but better choices in this price range.

Strange Pinot... No smooth and soft like most I've had.
