"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a brownish rim.

Fruity on the nose with blackberries, plums, cherries, cranberries, vanilla, spices and black pepper.

Full-bodied and balanced with nice legs.

Dry to off dry, and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, vanilla, spices and peppercorn.

Short finish with soft tannins.

Nice blend of Zinfandel, Barbera, Merlot and Petite Sirah. Very simple, yet enjoyable, especially at parties.

Entry level for this winery. Might be too fruity for some.

After a while, some green pepper shows up and the fruits diminish so I think this is its last year. I kept it for a couple of years to check how long it would last. I guess, now I know.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
