"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

Floral aroma. First notes splash with spice, dark cherries, apple. This is followed by tight tannins laced with licorice, vanilla, fig, and almonds and a moderate acidity to the finish. — 2 months ago

Tightly wound but fragrant and savory. Some plum flavors. Lots of other wild floral notes to me. Some charcoal and meat flavor. Overall good yet young. — 3 months ago

At the end of its life but still a powerful Syrah with plum, raisin, and dark fruit. The nose is weak now I wish had gotten to it earlier but this is a well-made Syrah. Excellent but not sure it is worth $82. — 2 months ago

Nice - not overly jammy, and with a distinct taste of orange peel. — 2 months ago

Big, rich and ripe. Nose of blueberry syrup, palate of blueberry compote. Tasty, but not my style. — 3 months ago

9.4

Terrific example of Walla Walla Syrah with elegant, velvety tannin and good acidity giving a solid foundation to black cherry, black plum, blackberry, licorice, cedar, forest floor, and dried blackberry. Still developing but hard to resist at the moment. — 2 months ago
