Initially, a bit muted. But after a few minutes the dark fruit comes through. We’ll see if, like the ‘16, it needs some air time to shine. As expected, 3 hours later, wine is singing. Tannins soft, gorgeous black fruit, silky mouthfeel. Nice finish. — 6 months ago

Lovely wine. Sad it was my last bottle of the 16s. Lovely fruit, great minerality, drinking so well now. I’d give it a taste on the open, then let it sit for an hour and then really enjoy it. It needs an hour decant and it just sings. Go ahead and open it up, ya drinking wonderful! — 7 days ago

"Odedi"
Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.
Strong fruity nose and Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits, chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cedar, earth, peppercorn, leather, coffee and spices.
This delicious 3 year old Napa Cabernet is still young and needs a 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.
Already enjoyable even by itself but is showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$250. — 2 days ago
