Odipus Old Vines Grenache 2008

The 2008 Odipus is composed of 100% Garnacha from 100+-year-old vines aged for 6 months in seasoned French oak. It offers up excellent density and richness in its black cherry fruit. Hints of smoke, incense, violets, and mineral notes add complexity to the smooth as silk finish. Flavors are more dark fruit and blueberry with hints of leather on the finish.  The finish here is superb and completely memorable for an inexpensive Grenache.
