Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Red in color with a pinkish rim. On the nose, vanilla, cherries, blueberries, figs and minerals.

On the palate, dark berries, vanilla, smoke, earth and cherries.

Medium bodied with very little thin legs.
Nice finish with soft tannins make for easy drinking.
Drinks like a Cabernet Sauvignon yet it's not as bold.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
I normally don't like Merlot, but this one is good.

Just trying #Merlots - have been against them for years . This one has the #spicy dry kick I like. Not bad for $12.99

This is one of those wines you like right away, but can become fatiguing unless you have some spicy saucy BBQ to pair up. Shows well in large tastings & the price can''t be beat. Good one to bring to those holiday parties.
