2014 Odette Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, North Coast, California, United States of America
Last blind red for my father’s 53rd birthday. We tried four 2014s, two were Cabernet Sauvignons and two were Bordeaux Blends.
Completely coats the glass, dark purplish red. Super dark and rich on the nose with baking spices, black fruits, gravel, and dark chocolate. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Tight and rough palate to start. After a 3.5 hr decant it started to open up nicely with a layered richness. Notes of black currants, berries, cinnamon, dark cocoa and spices. Long and lingering finish
Made up of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 20 months in 75% new French oak barrels.
2018 till 2037.
Price Point:
$$$$ - Purchased from Great Falls Wine Outlet for $127.19. Can be purchased from the estate for $162.00.
