2021 Odette Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, stags leap district

Top notes of spring-fresh Wisteria intertwine with vermillion spice, vanilla, and strokes of graphite on a canvas of ripe blueberry and cassis. Lush blackberry and layered caramel are braced by a youthful tannic structure epitomizing the “iron fist in a velvet glove.” As tannins ebb, notes of cocoa and clove tease rich Luxardo cherry flavors through a long, precise finish. The 2021 Odette Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon delivers immediate pleasure upon release and hints at the reward for the collectors who are patient enough to cellar it over the next 20+ years.
