Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby color with a purplish rim.

Very nice on the nose, with blueberries, figs, blackberries, metals, wildberies, peppercorn,herbs and vegetables.

Full bodied and bold.

Dry on the palate with strawberries, sweet cherries, blackberries, black currants, earth, mushrooms, bell pepper and bitter almonds.

Long dry finish with peppercorn, big firm tannins and cherries.

That bitterness didn't sit well with me, but otherwise it is a nice Argentinian cab. Still Young, and will probably get better with time.
Grapes are grown at 4000 ft elevation,at the foothills of Mt. Tupungato.
WS 90 points.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

$9.99, superb value, dark berry and earth notes, a little tight but opens up over an hour or so
