Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby/ purple in color with a reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose with red and black fruits, light wood, spices, light barnyard, coffee, dark chocolates and earth.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, light wood, Mediterranean spices, herbs, earth and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Grenache /Syrah blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and very approachable already.

A great vintage that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Complex and nicely balanced. The nose gives Northern Rhone vibes. Easy drinking and an interesting wine. Still very young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

A blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah. The Grenache comes from 100 year old vines. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of less than 3,300 bottles. Made only in special vintages.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$110.

Big, lush, thick wine. Lots of spicy Syrah at first, took awhile but eventually some nice Grenache fruit emerged. A nice #grenacheday warm up...

Était bien meilleur en jeunesse... ma dernière bouteille et la moins bonne des 5 bues.

Beautifully deep aroma. Continues to develop the more I smell it. Elegant and smooth palate. 15% Syrah really shines through. Velvety.
