Top Notes For
"Odedi"

This Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon is spicy.

Showing black fruits with chocolates, earth, vegetables, graphite, spices, bitter herbs and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with a soft mouthfeel. Doesn't drink like a Washington Cabernet.

Very drinkable, but not my style.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

85 points.

$20.

Amazing! More spicy than juicy! Get you some. I didn’t realize I was familiar with the wine maker as I enjoy Charles Smith Riesling and Merlot. #badandboozypod #winereviews #delectable

Cassis and blackberry, black olives tapenade on the nose the oak is revealed on the palate with coconut tannins

Let's be honest here. Is this a great wine? No. But is it a solid daily drinker that you can pick up for $19? Oh hell yes. Buy a few. Pop them on a lonely Tuesday and you'll be pleased

Plummy black fruit, with a shade of graphite. no overt oak. Flaccid tannins.

Good everyday drinking. Seems confused and not focused. But hey, for $19 bucks...I'm in!

Thick and velvety, full of rich coffee and caramel flavors, this wine is a decent value but not a superlative one.

100% French Oak. More feminine in style, this one is a throwback.

Deep ruby color. Aromas and flavors of black fruit, graphite, dark chocolate and forest floor. Spicy finish. Quite intense and deep. Full bodied. Tannins are a bit harsh.
