Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Nose of black currants, blackberries, plums, vanilla, oak, alcohol, vegetables, coffee, herbs, green pepper, black tea, tobacco and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherries, oak, cloves, green vegetables, herbs, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, smoke, spices, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Medium plus in finish with firm tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very nice and intense Malbec from Argentina. Not fully balanced yet, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Showing nice complexity, and needs another year or two in the bottle to mature.
Good with food or by just by itself and better after an hour of opening up.

Grapes are grown at high elevation of 5900 feet. A blend of 85% Malbec, 10% Tannat and 5% Petit Verdot.

Would pair very well with BBQ Meats.

13.9% alcohol by volume.



$16.

Blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, cooked red meat, leather, lavender, wild raspberry.

One of the best value wines I've ever had. Even better on day two.
Salta, argentina. 91.5
