Odette Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

The 2014 Odette Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District aromatics fly out the glass and the flavors linger on the palate with notes of black cherries, ripe raspberries, black current, violets and crushed rocks all interwoven into this full-bodied and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate    The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The wine has terrific aromatics of graphite, spring flowers, and some blackberry and blueberry fruit. Full-bodied, elegant, but also substantial and long, this is super-impressive, rich wine can be approached now or cellared for 20 or more years.

95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck    I always love this wine, and the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate doesn’t disappoint, with the classic, seamless, sexy style of this vintage front and center. Based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, its saturated purple color is followed by a gorgeous perfume blueberries, violets, exotic flowers, incense, and spice. Full-bodied, multi-dimensional, powerful, yet still weightless and elegant, it’s a fabulous introduction into the wines of this estate that can be drunk any time over the coming two decades.

92 Points - James Suckling    Aromas of plums, berries, mushrooms and spices follow through to a full body, soft and round tannins and a savory finish. A juicy and soft-textured red. Screw cap. Drink in 2019.
