Odette Estate Stags Leap District Napa Cabernet 2022 Rated 96JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 96
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.
