Top Notes For
"Odedi"

A nice and fruity Pinot Noir from the house of the Wagner family.

Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, light vegetables, earth, vanilla, oak and alcohol.

Medium bodied with medium acidity. Dry on the palate and rich.

Nicely balanced and easy drinking with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.

Spicy finish with soft tannins.

A little better than the Meiomi Pinot Noir.

14.9% alcohol by volume. (so watch out 😉)

88 points.

$20.

Another Pinot Noir from Joe Wagner, a Tri-Appellation with grapes from Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara. Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruit, with some spice. The palate shows rich red fruits of raspberries, cherries and strawberries, with sweet spice. Good balanced, smooth texture, hint of mineral brings this wine to a medium length finish. Nice value Joe.

I'm a huge fan of Joe Wagner and his wines and this one did not disappoint. A deeper wine than Meiomi, if that makes sense. First time trying it will definitely be adding it to the rotation.
