Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Light reddish in color with medium intensity.

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing raspberries, fresh cherries, light tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, and chocolate notes.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Still young, but already easy drinking and very approachable. Rich and powerful, elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and entertaining.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

100% Grenache grapes from 100 year old vines, were aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and concrete vats. A small production of less than 3,500 bottles.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$190.

Too rich for my blood, but as the name suggests, it had a lovely purity. Sweet black cherries, violets, pepper, and hints of olive tapenade. Very sweet, concentrated, and full-bodied on the palate. Was looking for more elegance.

Very rich and broad. Succulent dark fruit with lovely plummy Grenache, a hint of tobacco and dried herbs, but this is is a vivid and ripe wine with almost tangy acidity. A modern CNdP but gorgeous dark fruit.

From mag. Very deep, dark and smoky. Rich and ripe with intense plum fruit with notes of violet, mocha, dried herbs, black cherry. The fruit is intense and supple with loads of complexity. Wonderful stuff.

2011. So much energy, focus, fine tannins for ages, strawberry and spice. Another testament of a screaming 15% alcohol Grenache.

100% Grenache, biodynamic... A game changer modern Grenache with a ton of complexity. Say goodbye to your Pinot Noir - This is the wine you have been waiting for. 👌🏻
