Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, black cherries, cedar, light vanilla, milk chocolates, light earth, tobacco, black pepper and mediterranean spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, light cedar, cherries, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, black pepper, herbs and light green tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, cherries and peppercorn.

This 6 year old Single Vineyard Zinfandel from Sonoma Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich and fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and spicy.

Delicious by itself, and good right out of the bottle.

Starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years. Showing a beautiful nose already, with lots of complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 98% Zinfandel and 2% Alicante Bouschet from 100 year old vines. Aged in French and American Oak barrels for 16 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Yummy Zinfandel. With a spicy stirfry last night and cheese and crackers tonight.

Why in the world would anyone vote for either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump?! Both clearly dangerous and unfit for public office.

Is that me or the Zinfandel speaking? Ha ha.

Red cherry, strawberry jam, baking spice, nutmeg and violet. M acid and body. M+ tannin. A bit of a short finish.

BlackBerry, oak, acidic, and decent tannins. Still decently smooth on the finish after breathing.

Heritage Growers Series ~ a step up from their basic zin. We paired it with a garlicky pork tenderloin and rice with dates and currants. Soooo good! Initially a bit bold but smoothes out on the palette.
