Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Inky in color with a very short reddish/ brick rim.

Full bodied with medium acidity

Showing black fruits with earth, bell pepper, tobacco, oak, dark coffee, pencil lead, bitter herbs, earth, light roasted bell pepper and forest floor.

Soft tannins on the tangy finish.

This 10 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is probably on its way out. Still very drinkable, but a little unbalanced and showing lots of earth notes.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after two hours of air time.

Showing nice complexity at this point, but a little bitter for my taste.

Although still good, I expected more from this second wine from this producer and this vintage.

90 points.

$80 (current vintage).

A giant in this price range. It's composed and elegant and complex. Definitely not for fans of fruit bombs.

The more I drink 2012 Napa the more I realize that I should stock this vintage , quite robust yet still elegant. This CS has a deep dark color, lovely enchanting nose of black current, coffee, after eight and a light touch if spice, full body with firm tannins, that needed a bit of decanting to open up, a long delicious dry finish. I would wait a couple of years before approaching. My score 89, drink 2017-2027

Deep, dark, tannic. Reluctant to open up but got drank anyways. There is nice stuffing in there but will need several years to come out.
