"Odedi"

9.1

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose and full bodied with medium minus acidity.

Showing blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, light cedar, vanilla and spices.

This 9 year old Petite Sirah from California is still drinking nicely and good right out of the bottle.

Extracted and very fruity, with some RS on the palate. In your face kind of wine.

Showing nice complexity at this point. Rich with lots of chocolate notes.

A nice sipping wine and good for parties.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

I keep trying Anthill Farms in hopes of truly appreciating their craft. To this bottling, I’m sadly not there. They make decent Pinot but there are others better at the same price point or less.

2005 shows evolution but is still quite big. I would say it is overly extracted.

The nose shows ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries, raspberries and some blueberry hues. Soft dry soil, limestone, dry, crushed rocks, light baking spices, red cherry cola, dark, red, blue florals, red roses & liquid violets.

The body is round, ripe and lush; blackberries, dark cherries for days, strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate and blueberry hues. Soft dry soil, dry & fresh herbs, moist clay, limestone, dry, crushed rocks, light baking spices; clove, cinnamon, light nutmeg, vanilla, melted caramel, red & mid berry cola, mid, dark spice, dark, red, blue florals, red roses & liquid violets, nice rainfall acidity, well balanced, big structure-tension, elegant finish that lasts a minute and lands on fruit, herbs and earth.

The wood is integrated but still a little one dimensional given the price tag. — 24 days ago

2017. Pre-anniversary dinner at the oven. 33 years ago we couldn’t afford a lot for our wedding reception and bought a case of the Roederer Estate wine for our reception. We’ve never tried the L’Ermitage until tonight. We loved it! — 3 months ago

Beautiful #andersonvalley #sparkling wine that punches a good deal higher than its price class. Apple, lemon, touch of toast towards the finish - the $60 bottle price at a casually upscale restaurant in Frisco / Plano represents great QPR. — 3 months ago

Salmon colored, with aromas of apples, brioche, red berries, and peach. On the palate, peach, apple, strawberries, lavender, with a long herbal mild peppery finish. — 3 months ago
