An intense nose opening with the vine’s primary aromas, red berries, sustained by a good note of alcohol. On the palate the wine shows its mighty structure, with tannins to the fore, and nice fresh, tasty notes that make Ode a feisty wine, well equipped to express the full typical traits of the variety.

From CANTINARTE An ultraripe expression of peach, citrus cream and butterscotch carries to the richly layered palate. A lush orchard fruit flavor melds with tangy cream and salt, bolstered by zesty acidity and a lingering blossom note.

From KIVELSTADT CELLARS This red blend has richness on the attack, yet finishes brightly thanks to the acid profile of the Grenache and Carignane. A fantastic balance of fruit and earth, which is characteristic of southern Rhône blends. There is red fruit on the nose with notes of dried herbs and spices rounding out the palate on the finish.
