"Odedi"

A nice and oaky Chardonnay from California. Showing citrus, pineapples, bananas, tropical fruits, kiwi, oak, vanilla and spices.

Medium-plus in body with medium acidity and a tangy finish.

Nice mouthfeel.

Better than I expected from the name and better than the previous vintages that I had.

Good by itself as a sipping wine by the porch.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

$13.

Beautiful with buttery garlic seafood. Not too sweet, and the oak hints are delightful.

This classy Chardonnay hits the nose with pear and soap flavor. This wine hits the pallet smoothly with fruit, yet subtle tang too!

Golden apple, pear, nectarine, vanilla, and toasted oak. Consistent and straightforward. Smooth and a bit creamy. It’s alright.

Nice everyday Chardonnay. Buttery, soft fruit. Pear and slight citrus.

Yes there's butter. But so much butter it's almost rancid. And the fruit I get is pineapple, which I'm not a fan of. It's good in the preparation of risotto though. But that's probably not a good enough reason to buy.

Fabulous wine. Very smooth and paired nicely with a prime rib roast. Vanilla hits the palate immediately with hints of coffee aftertaste. Doesn’t over power as many mocha infused wines do. Nicely priced for a US import to Canada.
