Odette
Estate Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
While this is not the best wine so far, I really love this producer. Very ripe and round-soft. It juicy on the palate. Blackberries, black raspberries, purple fruits, poached strawberries, dry soils, black licorice to anise, used leather, dark fruit cola, beautiful dark spice, coffee grounds, dry stems, violet, dark flowers and lavender.

Finally getting around to posting Day 5 in Napa, our final day. 5 years in a row visiting...hope to make it 6 next year!
A wonderful wine, with room for score improvement over the next few years. Signature SLD to me. Mocha, dark cocoa, blackberry pie and a streak of ripe/rich red fruit down the middle. Dusty. Cinnamon and baking spice finish. Very good.

We had the 2016 Vintage on 2/20-21/22. Tastes and scents of blackberry, cassis and eucalyptus. Full bodied and fruit forward. The tannins were all smoothed out.

Smooth enjoyable drinking wine. Had for food and wine pairing dinner. Paired well with tritip steak and roasted potatoes

Magnificent, striking currant flavors in the nose and the mouth. This is a JUICE. BOMB. So much body, it extends into an interminable (mesmorizing!) finish. I love the expressively balanced tannins - so much nuanced structure! Also in play is violet, leather, and a hint of spice box. It all plays so well together though, Odette presents an exquisite symphony of refinement.
