Top Notes For
"Odedi"

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

Fruity nose with red fruits, light oak, vegetables and chocolate notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, chocolates, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a tasty Pinot Noir from Mendocino County in California. Fruit forward with mild complexity, and a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after a couple of hours in the bottle.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. A nice party wine too.

Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (25% new) French Oak barrels for 7 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$26.

We had the 2007, won it in the basket from the Nashua wine expo. It has a very light flavor, preferred in the round glasses, not the tall ones.
