Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Deep, dark purple in color with a brownish rim.

Extremely fruity on the nose with blackberries, figs, raisins, sweet cranberries, vanilla, cedar, licorice, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied and bold with nice long legs and a great mouthfeel.

On the palate, plums, blackberries, cherries, earth, wood, leather, vanilla, light chocolate, spices and peppercorn.

Long finish with big, bold tannins and bitter almonds.

13.5 % alcohol by volume.

This is a nice Merlot that aged well and is ready now for the picking. Took 3 hours to fully open up. Please be patient.
Great wine, for a very inexpensive price.

Aged for16 months, in French oak.

Decent enough for under $10 from garagiste. Ripe (too), fruity, but good.

Big and fruity and quintessentially a Paso Robles Merlot but with a surprisingly strong acid structure.
