Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark purple in color with a wide purplish rim.

Fruity on nose with blackberries, oak, black currants, plums, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, peppercorn, purple(?), tobacco, chocolates and graphite.


Medium Plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.


Fruity on the palate with blackberry jam, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, cloves, oak, tobacco, coffee, chocolates, smoke, licorice, pencil lead and peppercorn.


Medium plus in finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a nice Australian Shiraz blend. Well balanced, jammy and simple, but has a weird "fake" nose. Might be a little sweet for some, as it has some Residual sugar. Drink while fresh.

Reminds me of the Australian 19 Crimes blend. Enjoyable by itself or with food.

A blend of 42% Shiraz, 38% Grenache, 13% Malbec and 7% Petit Verdot.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

$11.

Fruit forward, medium tannins. Shiraz, Grenache and Malbec are one of my fave combos!

Cherry vanilla crumble mmmmmm! The taste and aromas of Vanilla, red fruit, and chocolate are so well balanced with incredible mouth feel! This might be the best wine under 10$ to be had in the US right now!

Smooth, chocolaty and ripe. Not complex, but satisfying, especially for $11. Points for cost/benefit ratio. Pandemic bottle #16.

Soft lush boysenberry marmalade and cherry jam laced with subtle new oak. Silky velvet smooth on the pallet, showing hints of vanilla and chocolate.

Requires a serious decanting. Tasted like church wine...you know that burn as the blessed wine tries in vain to burn out your sins...? Yeah, kinda like that. Not bad, but not for me

This is the ultimate red wine!! 😍 You taste the fruit as soon as it hits your tongue. Has a smooth finish. This definitely is a mislabel because their is no end to the hope in this bottle. #Perfect10

Pretty solid red blend for $9.99 at Martins. For the price, it's one of the better wines.
