Top Notes For
"Odedi"

This is a beautiful Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Napa Valley.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with a soft mouthfeel.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Fruit forward, complex and entertaining.

I had this vintage a year ago, and it wasn't showing well at all. Drinking beautifully now.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Good by itself or with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged for 7 months in (40% new) French oak barrels.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$75.
