"Odedi"

9.0

Dark ruby in color.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries and chocolates notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, herbs, caramel and black pepper.

Medium length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Grenache blend from California is drinking very nicely now. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and easy drinking.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with some airtime.

I used to love this wine years ago and haven't tried it in 5 years. It's not that exciting to me anymore, but still good.

A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a burger.

A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Petite Sirah. Aged for 10 months in (30% new) French Oak barrels.

15.3% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

My man Sydney at Cork & Keg told me to buy this wine, and I do what Sydney says so that he'll order what I ask him to. I've passed by this wine 100 times because I didn't like the label. But, you can't always judge a wine by its label. Look at Bionic Frog.
This is really good! It's a steak wine. Bold, nicely structured, and plenty going on flavor-wise. Big dark fruit, smoke, cedar, focused acidity and firm tannins. It's a winner. And the bottle weighs like 7 pounds.
Listening to David Lowery's solo record. It's so, so good. — 2 months ago

Not a Merlot fan, but I am a big Orin Swift fan. A little spice on the nose and lots of dark fruit. Black currant and blackberry pie on the palate but not as jammy as other Merlots. Smooth finish with a little spice. — 12 hours ago

Want to sell wine? Put a provocative picture on the bottle and come up with an exciting story! Share it religiously. Wine can be good. Worked for Orin; decades later we’re still talking about Prisoner and many others he created. Cheers. — 3 months ago

Dark red fruit with lingering tannins. Nice mouth feel. Cherry on the initial nose giving way to woodsy oak in the finish. Well made. — 2 months ago
