"Odedi"

Dark ruby/ Inky in color, with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, light earth and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, spices, milk chocolates, tobacco, licorice, light herbs and peppercorn.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious 10 years old Syrah from Washington State. Elegant and rich, fruit forward and smooth. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting.

Very typical to the Terroir, which is nice to see. The alcohol is nicely integrated by now.

I had this vintage 5 years ago and it is drinking much better now. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 94% Syrah with 6% Viognier. Aged in (20% new) French Oak barrels for 19 months.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$60.

Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco, chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead and black pepper.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dark purple in color with a wide purplish rim.

Fruity nose with blueberries, black plums, black currants, light oak, licorice, spices, vegetables, light bell pepper, barnyard, light earth, tobacco, chocolates, dark coffee and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and fat legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, black currants, earth, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, vegetables, green herbs and beef jerky.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very easy drinking Syrah from Washington State. Nice and engaging with nice balance.

Needs an hour in a decanter to open up properly, and remove some of the acidity.

Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. This 4 year old will age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with brie cheese. Very tasty.
