Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark gold in color.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, apples, pears, light earth, light oak, limes, light spices and minerals.

Nice finish with lemons and limes.

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Santa Lucia Highlands in California. Soft and elegant. Fruit forward and engaging.

Nicely balanced and complex, with a nice mouthfeel. The high alcohol is well integrated.

Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is easy drinking, and good by itself or with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged in (33% new) French oak barrels for 9 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Prototypical, oaky SLH chard. Buttery with vanilla, mineral, and lemon notes. Medium alcohol and high acid.
