Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Light golden in color with a very aromatic nose.

Ful bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and spicy. Soft and smooth.

Showing citrus, yellow apples, spices, pears, ginger, light marzipan and herbs.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

This is a tasty Viognier from Arizona. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.

This 4 year old is surprisingly still fresh. Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

I had a few vintages of this wine, and my favorite so far was the 2019.

I paired it with steamed Abalone topped with fresh ginger.

13.2% alcohol by volume.

Apple, quince, lemon candy, honeydew melon and hints of peach. Great acidity and minerality.

A great sipping wine. Neither bitter nor tart. Love that.

I had the 2018 last year, but this 2019 is so much better.

I had it all by itself by the lake. Delicious wine.

100% Viognier grapes from Southeastern Arizona were aged for 19 months in French oak barrels and stainless steel. A small production of only 350 cases.

Slightly sweet when first opened, but becomes a bit more dry/crisp as it gets some oxygen. Tastes of white magnolias, peach and pear. Absolutely wonderful!! #straightfromaz #jactakesjohnson
