Top Notes For
"Odedi"

A nice Pinot Noir from the Wagner family.

Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, oak, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body and jammy, with medium acidity.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself. A good party wine too.

Easy drinking and fruit forward with a nice, soft mouthfeel.

Tastes very much like the 2018, but with a little less alcohol.

88 points.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

$20.

Kelly liked it, but Craig thought there was far too much “earthy” flavor to it

Inky. Punchy. Licorice and dark fruits, Blackberry,. Kind of strong for a pinot, but I like the boldness, tried it with steak, but would be at home with a variety of strong dishes. Very good for the price point.

Enjoyed for the price point and would definitely buy again. I also prefer to Meiomi Pinot noir.
