Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Fruity nose and full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, espresso, chocolates, earth, light vegetables, herbs and peppercorn.

This 8-year-old Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and even better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and complex. Spicy and entertaining.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.

Wine Spectator 90 points. Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with barbecue meats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45 (current vintage).

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State.

Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, coke, earth, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Big, bold and full-bodied with medium acidity.

Nice lenght on the finish with firm tannins.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 2 hours of airtime. A little harsh right now, but will calm down as it ages in the bottle.

Shows great quality for the price, and will age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

I paired it with a nice piece of steak.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Classic Cab fruit nose - cranberry pomegranate with precision.

Heavier bodied, with more of that precision carrying on in the flavor profile, Like eating a pomegranate whole, every bit of it.

Classic wine from a classic wine house.
