Top Notes For
"Odedi"

This 6 year old Napa Cabernet is drinking very nicely now. This is exactly what I expect from one. Gentle and elegant. Spicy and opulent.

Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, spices, light vegetables, herbs and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium acidity. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Good by itself or with food. Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime.

Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with some Petit verdot, Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah. A small production of only 214 cases.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$78.

It’s time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a nice one from Napa Valley.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose wild flowers, blueberries, black cherries, light wood, licorice, spices, bitter herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with cooked strawberries, black currants, sweet cherries, licorice, spices, light vanilla, cedar, leather, earth, peppercorn, herbs, red chili powder and light vegetables.

Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and raspberries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from the great 2015 vintage in Napa Valley. Nicely balanced with a great nose.

Showing nice complexity at this point. Elegant, spicy and soft.

Good by itself and good right out of the bottle. After 2.5 hours in the decanter, tannins and structure show up together with lots of spices. Worth the wait.

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petite Sirah. A small production of only 214 cases. Aged for 29 months in French Oak barrels (80% new).

14.2% alcohol by Volume.
