"Odedi"

9.2

This is a delicious 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, dark chocolates and light vegetables.

Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of earthiness.

Needed 2 hours to open up properly.

A less wild, thicker, charismatic version of Liaison. More filled out. Still with that E&M corduroy murk, more glow for par.

Candy coat with cherry, raspberry, and acetone.

1001 Vins qu'il faut avoir bus. Une robe dense rubis avec une touche violet. Un nez de chocolat, des bleuets et du poivre. Une bouche puissante aux saveurs d'épices, de poivre, du chocolat. La finale est longue mais légèrement grossière. 14,5% bien senti. Provenant de différents lots du vignoble granitique de Mount Langi Ghiran dans le secteur de Grampians dans le Victoria. — 16 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2017 San Valentino pours a slightly hazy, ruby color with medium+ viscosity and light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart, red fruit: sour Montmorency cherry, wood varnish, horse blanket, black licorice, old wood, and stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and zippy. One of the more wild vintages of San Valentino I’ve ever had and this bottle wasn’t quite as good as the one I had a couple years back. Drink now and enjoy what nature gave to Paolo and Giampiero. — 2 months ago

2012 vintage. Medium body. Subdued nose with just some slightly tart, dark cherry afoot. Some frontal spice box married to that tart, dark cherry and a light muddiness (¿word?). Back end/finishing richness makes an appearance for a spell. Nicely made. Not overwhelming (nor underwhelming) for CA but should go forth and prosper for another 5-7 years at this level. 02.09.25. — 22 days ago

Pale and young. My first 2024 wine. From a reputable producer but not worth the $86 (restaurant wine list) we paid. — 2 months ago

Still delicious and has changed less with age than I expected. Not sure if I should have sat on it longer. It has gotten nuttier with hazelnut becoming more prominent. Still a lot of oak and lemon, with a touch of flint and brioche. It’s — 3 months ago
