"Odedi"

A beautiful Napa Cabernet. This 7 year old is delicious now. Showing baked black fruits with chocolates, notes and cedar, vanilla, coffee, earth, cola and peppercorn.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with great complexity and mouthfeel.

Long finish with fine tannins.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (3 hours).

Thank you Scott for sharing.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

95 points

Mountain fruit feel, loads of wild cherry, florals, and silky tannins. Always love a good Melka wine.

Lail Vineyards: one of the most underrated and understated California wines that show both local terroir and Old World bones.

At this age, the dark fruit while luscious was overpowered by the chewy tannins. Chocolate notes as well. Slight acidity sets this up to be a nice wine down the road. Drinking a bit hot now. Needs time but has the stuffing.
