Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Light Ruby in color with a light red rim.

On the nose, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, oak, vanilla, earth, forest floor, chocolates, leather and black pepper.

Medium-bodied with high acidity and nice long legs.

Fruity and tart on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, red currants, earth, graphite, mint, espresso, dark chocolate, dirt, spices and black pepper.

Long finish with soft tannins and peppercorn.

This is a very unique GSM blend of 53% Mourvedre, 25% Syrah and 22% Grenache, where in this case, Mourvedre is the star of the show.
A little tart for my taste, but very interesting. Gentle with a Light mouth feel.

Good food wine, but not so much by itself. I paired it with cheeses and Tapas.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

A zesty blend 4 grape blend with some oak aging, the wine has aromas of red berry and sweet spice. On the palate ripe berry flavors, raspberry and cherry with cinnamon, pepper and earthy spices. The finish is soft with round tannins, an easy drinking red. Drink now.

Smooth and comfortable. An enjoyable bottle that deserves some respect, but doesn't hit greatness. But not bad for a blend. Vastly prefer their Ancient Vine Mouvèrdre.

Was getting stewed/dried fruit on the nose. Notes of dates, figs and prunes. Soft rounded mouthfeel with flavors of blackberry jam and chocolate.
