Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of fresh cherries, sweet plums, light oak, chocolates, wild flowers, light herbs and mediterranean spices.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, plums, vegetables, light oak, spices, earth, dark coffee, herbs and black pepper.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and green peppers.

This is a very interesting Pinot Noir from oregon. Fruity on the nose and very earthy on the palate.

Feels young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

The nose is very complex for such a young Pinot. Really interesting nose that was fun to smell. Reminds me of a Burgundy Pinot Noir.

A good quality wine that is just not ready yet. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.

Elegant, and a good food wine.

Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 16 months in (20% new) French Oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$44.
