Top Notes For
"Odedi"

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

Dry on the palate and fruitier than I expected it to be.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Short finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

Good right out of the bottle, and very drinkable.

A good food wine.

14% alcohol by volume.

86 points.

$20.

In the words of Yoda: the acid is strong in this one.

It’s youthful. It’s a Chianti. You can’t expect anything more.

There’s so much potential for this. 2016 is THE year for Chianti.

Sit on this one... see you in another life brother!

(I advise to buy this because the label is so nice to add to a collection).

Really tight, acidic, and red red RED cherry. Has a musty quality to it but some kick and zing with licorice and tart.

Worn leather and earthy, very light on the fruit. A great everyday table wine.

Rustic and totally on par for a Chianti Classico. A nice random selection in Bozeman, Montana.
