Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Purple in color with medium intensity.

Fruity nose of blueberries, sweet raspberries, cherries, red plums, spices and black pepper.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, black plums, licorice, chocolates, light oak, light cloves, limes and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cranberries.

This 3-year-old Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley is starting to drink nicely, although still young.

Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Showing mild complexity with a soft mouth feel.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Tangy, bright and interesting.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years, and see how it evolved.

I had it all by itself and paired it with a beautiful sunny day.

A blend of 90% Zinfandel, 7% Petite Sirah and 3% Carignan. Aged in (25% new) French Oak barrels for 11 months. Only 502 cases produced.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$45.
