Top Notes For
"Odedi"

This 10 year old Napa Cabernet is drinking very nicely now. Showing black fruits with chocolates, coke, earth, light vegetables, vanilla, oak, licorice and black pepper.

Full bodied elegant and smooth with medium acidity.

Long finish with firm tannins after 3 hours of airtime.

Nice mouthfeel, but let it open up properly.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

90 points

One of my top two favorite budget cabernets - right behind Concannon.

Clean and soft on palate. Earthy tones compliment this well

Good, but surprised that it wasn't a lot better than intro introductory level "California" little brother
