Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Price $75.

Beautiful dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Gorgeous nose of black currants, blackberries, vanilla, oak, licorice, cloves, dried figs, smoke, spices, chocolates, dark coffee, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Medium bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, plums, cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, wet leaves, smoke, light vanilla, graphite, earth, vegetables, and white pepper.

Medium plus in finish with soft tannins and spices.

This wonderful Merlot is drinking very nicely now. Soft and elegant with great balance and complexity. A little earthy, with an old world feel and a soft, luxurious mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard is interesting and attractive. Peaking now, and will be good in the next 5 years.

100% organic Merlot grapes were grown at around 3,500 feet elevation, and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.

I decanted it for 90 minutes. Yummy!

15% alcohol by volume.
