Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Light yellow in color with a golden hue.

Nose of citrus, limes, green apples, white flowers, honey, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices and white pepper.

Medium bodied with medium acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, citrus, spices, sea salt, earth, black pepper, bitter herbs and river rocks.

Tangy and earthy finish with bitter almonds.

This is a nice white blend from Côtes du Rhône. Easy drinking, refreshing, and good right out of the bottle. Shows an interesting nose.

A good food wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers. Paired very nicely with smoked white fish.

A blend of 40% Viognier, 20% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc and 20% Roussanne. Aged in stainless steel and concrete vats for 7 months. Organic and Vegan.

13% alcohol by volume.

88 points.

$17.

Opened this on Thanksgiving. From #garagiste #cotesdurhone #rhone #gonnet #lespromesses so tasty. Lovely black pepper spice note with just the right amount of spice and earth. Ripe red fruit. Floral. Freshness. Vibrant. Very sexy wine. I pretty much finished this myself. May have been the wine of Thanksgiving for me.

This one was pretty decent. I found it to be on the sweeter side (but not cloyingly so). Lots of floral and berry notes. I probably should have started with this one, but then I might not have liked that Greek one as much.

After trying all 3 of #thetcwineclub bottles this month, this white blend from France's Côtes du Rhône region would have to be the favourite for my palate.

Very pale elegant yellow colour in the glass with subtle notes of white flowers, touch of honey and lemon curd on the nose. The palate is soft and silky with a nice delicate texture. There's upfront fruitiness which leads to a nice dry 'palate cleansing' finish. I highly enjoyed this vino!

Medium body, fairly balanced, lots of red fruit, mildly acidic finish. Nice restaurant bottle at a reasonable price.
