Odette Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (75cl)

Odette Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a Stags Leap District, Napa Valley red wine from Odette Estate. The blend is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. The 2016 vintage underwent a four-day cold soak at 55°F before fermenting in fully jacketed stainless steel tanks, with macerations lasting six to ten days at a peak temperature of 95°F. Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel, and the final blend was assembled in early spring 2018, then aged an additional fifteen months with minimal racking. The nose opens with crushed blueberry and black cassis, then lavender, violets and oolong tea, with crushed rock, iron and potpourri. The palate is lush with ripe black cherry and warm cassis, framed by polished tannins, with tobacco leaf, dark cocoa powder and earthy leather. The finish is long and detailed, with mineral notes, chocolate-covered cherry and crushed gravel.
