"Odedi"

9.2

Dark inky color with a purplish rim.

Oaky nose with plums, blackberries, wood, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla (did I say vanilla?), earth, spices and black pepper.

Full bodied, smooth and bold with nice legs.

Fruity on the palate with blackberries, figs, cherries, plums, earth, oak, vanilla, dirt and peppercorn.

Nice finish with big tanning and black pepper.

Awesome wine with a great mouth feel, that can be enjoyed by itself. I paired it with Parmesan cheese, crackers and great company. Drinkable now, but will be even better in 3 to 5 years.

A blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah. Each was fermented individually, and then aged for 18 months separately, in new French and American oak barrels. After blending, it sat for over a month in steel tanks before bottling.

15.5% (Wow!) Alcohol by volume. — 10 years ago

Completely a Germany fan, but a brief moment of neutrality while drinking during the World Cup final. — 11 years ago

Wow this is fantastic. Napa Red the way it ought to be -- lots of fruit, nicely framed by oak, amazingly complex and yet great balance. Just a gorgeous drink and in its prime window I think. Second bottle of this in past year and both incredible... — 10 years ago

This is amazing. Dense flavors of coffee and chocolate, very velvety Amy Currens said shoo fly pie in a glass. So aromatic and malty. Super long finish — 12 years ago

Got this as a Christmas gift and I couldn't be happier. Very smooth - seemed a little thicker in consistency to other whiskey. — 11 years ago

Monastrell aged in Pappy van Winkle barrels. Plenty of oak, with vanilla and caramel with a touch of bourbon corn sweetness. Cherry and dark fruit. Full body, supple tannins, medium minus acidity, medium finish. Delicious! — 12 years ago
