Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark purple in color with a purplish rim.

Fruity nose and full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, oak, spices, chocolates, herbs, light tobacco leaf and black pepper.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle.

I had it 3 years ago and it is drinking better now. Will not get any better from this point, so drink up.

Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Kosher.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$30 (current vintage)

#kosherwineSunday

Purple in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blueberries, sweet cherries, light oak, licorice, cloves, chocolates, tobacco, spices, coffee and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, black currants, plums, oak, tobacco, cloves, herbs, spices and dark chocolates.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a young Cabernet Sauvignon from Israel, but starting to drink nicely now.

Easy drinking, good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy and interesting.

Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.

Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
I paired it with cheeses and crackers.

Grapes are grown in the Upper Galilee region. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Kosher and Mevushal.
