Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark purple in color with a short purple rim.

Fruity on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, vanilla and black pepper.

Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is past its prime, but still drinkable.

A simple Cabernet from Washington State. Soft and smooth, but not as good as their Indian Wells version.

Easy drinking and good for parties.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 2% Merlot, 1% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Grenache and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deep Ruby red with dark berry fruit aromas and herb notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and plum flavors with oak, pepper and some hints of smoky herbal spice. Ok balance, fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spicy oak character.

Licorice, cherry and dark fruit. An ok every day wine. A bit simple due to it having a short finish.

A great wine. I loved it when it was first released. I found one at auction and it still had that "thing" that caught my attention so long ago. Fresh and beautiful at 37.

Deep crimson in the glass. Fruity on the nose with low smooth tannins on the palette. A bit of spice on the finish. Very good wine at this price point.

Cherries, currant, and olive tapenade. Short finish. Wont impress anyone, but it’s simple, solid and, most importantly, about $12.
