Thank god, success for koshu. Amber, peach, geraniums, and the usual citrus nose. This really makes up for the lack of depth and body in non mac koshu. It's still a light wine but there's an evolution from orange peel, peach, and softer floral flavours into a more chalky citrus finish. Its pretty awesome. We'll done mercian. — 4 years ago

They were featuring wines from Finca Parera at the El Diset in Barcelona. This blend of Granache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot was balanced, herbaceous and earthy with a nice finish. — 6 years ago

Beautifully made wine from a non-traditional wine growing region. What impress me the most is the fact that it does not attempt to copy a popular, easy-to-pronounce, and most likely French varietal such as Merlot or Chardonnay for the sake of sales and marketing. Kōshū has been grown in Japan for 1000+ years . White peach, pear, and fresh cut grass on the nose. Delicate almonds, citrus and mineral on the palate. — 9 years ago

remind of muscadet or lees-aged koshu (it is sur-lie; koshu is Japanese grape) or like a really solid pinot grigio. but enjoyable in its delicacy. I had read it was "like Oregon Cali" chard - so a less fruit butteroak thing - so was impressed with its subtlety
Day2 melded new world flavors and hit all my style points. It aged 4years overnight in a good way! Jumped from 9.1 to 9.5! Yay auction gems. Looking for more — 5 years ago

"Odedi"

9.1

This is a tasty Napa Cabernet. Rich, extracted and elegant.

Showing blackberries, black currants, raisins, sweet cherries, chocolates, cedar, vanilla, coffee, earth, light vegetables, bitter herbs and peppercorn.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Long finish with round tannins.

Needed a few hours of decanting, which I did not have at this time.

Still very young, but already enjoyable. Needs 3 years in the bottle to mature properly, and will age nicely in the next 10 years.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$75. — 5 years ago

Fantastic Koshu. Any Sherry drinker that can't appreciate the oxidative and reductive qualities of this product is just being spiteful. — 9 years ago
