95pts James Suckling
Brooding aromas of blackberry compote, licorice, cedar and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of olive tapenade, mocha, blood plums and blueberries. Very well balanced and poised, with a powerful undertone. Drink or hold.
94pts Wine Advocate
Odette's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate boasts gorgeous aromas of ripe cherries alongside hints of vanilla and stone fruit. Full-bodied, it's silky, ripe and generous in the mouth, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Really harmonious and elegant, it's classic Stags Leap District, despite the torrid early September heat.
92pts Wine Spectator
Shows some punch, with a juicy edge to its core of dark plum, blackberry and açaí berry. Licorice snap and apple wood notes also offer drive through the finish, with the fruit keeping pace (a rarity in this vintage).Tasted three times, with consistent notes.
Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Odette Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, offers notes of freshly baked cinnamon rolls and blueberry pancakes hot off the griddle. The vintage’s heat is reflected in an aromatic school of Red Swedish Fish with a splash of graphite minerality. On the palate, layers of juicy raspberry, candied walnut, and cola ride fine-grain tannins to a mouth-watering finish of vanilla, toasted oak, and cacao.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Malbec
