Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose of sweet raspberries, cherries, tobacco, light wood, herbs, spices, black pepper and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, licorice and peppercorn.

Long tangy finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This Zinfandel/ Petite Sirah blend from Washington State is drinking very nicely right out of the bottle.

Spicy and fruit forward. Juicy and elegant. Already showing nice complexity.

Nicely balanced, and not cloying at all, which was a great surprise.

Delivers more than its price point, and drinks like a $35 California Cabernet. Interesting stuff.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Went really well with prosciutto, and will also pair nicely with a burger.

A blend of 51% Zinfandel, 38% Petite Sirah and 11% Lemberger. Aged in French and American Oak barrels for 26 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$18.
