Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Fruity nose with bing cherries, sweet strawberries, raspberries, spices, earth, milk chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, spices, minerals, earth, river rocks and peppercorn.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and red chili powder.

Here is a very nice Grenache from California. Showing mild complexity with a nice mouthfeel, and spicy finish. Well-balanced and easy drinking. The mid palate is not spicy at all, but boy it is lingering on the finish.

A Grenache for the Pinot Noir lover. Well made wine.

Good right out of the bottle and even good with a slight chill. More structure comes in after an hour of airtime.

This is not in the style of a Spanish Grenache, but rather more like a Southern Rhône Style.

A good sipping wine to drink by itself.

100% Grenache grapes were aged for 11 months in neutral French Oak barrels.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$67.
