Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Fruity nose and full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black currants, cooked plums, light cedar, spices, raisins, light vegetables, herbs, dried fruits and peppercorn.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Franc from California is still drinking nicely, but will not last long so drink up.

Wine Enthusiasts 89 points.

Nicely balanced, fruit forward and elegant. A good everyday wine.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$20.

Earthy Californian Cabernet Franc with notes of leather, dark fruit, cherry and vanilla - finishes with t some toasty oak. Paired well with barbecue chicken thighs.
