Top Notes For
"Odedi"

This is a nice kosher Chardonnay from Israel. Showing lemons, citrus, apples, spices, oak and white pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Refreshing when properly chilled.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime when the oak diminishes a little.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

Good by itself or with food. A nice pool wine too.

13% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

"Odedi"

This is a nice oaky Chardonnay from Israel. Showing lemons, citrus, yellow apples, melons, pears, herbs, oak, vanilla and black pepper.

Medium plus in body and spicy. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Medium acidity with a tangy finish of lemons and limes.

Nice and easy drinking. Good by itself when properly chilled. Will also pair nicely with food, but i had it all by itself by the pool.

Has potential to be more interesting in the next few years and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

Aged for 6 months in oak barrels. Kosher.
