Top Notes For
"Odedi"

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

Nice fruity nose with black currants, cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco, spices, oak, light vanilla, bitter herbs, pencil lead, vegetables, dark chocolates, peppercorn and earth.


Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherries, oak, cloves, spices, oak, licorice, earth, vegetables, graphite, bitter herbs, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Spicy finish with medium length and fine tannins.

This 3 year old Côte du Rhône Villages is peaking now. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel, with a great nose.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (1 hour).

Wine Enthusiasts 89 points. Robert Parker 91 points.

Good by itself or with food. An easy drinking red wine. I paired it with light appetizers.

A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$16.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

Very enjoyable by itself or with food.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and shows some tannins.
