Odisea from california

A small winery from mostly the Lodi region of california.
adam webb owner... fun wines that are not that expensive but unusual enough to catch my interest.

Veritable Quandry white 2007 a blend of marsanne roussanne albarino and viognier...dusky yellow color, neutral nose but some hints of olive...heavy in the glass and on the tongue...creamy thanks to the blend...still shows a little acidity...will be around $18

Veritable Quandry Red 2006 a blend of spanish and rhone grape varietals grown in california.. lots of grenache on the tongue juicy, tobacco and tar and roses?? very pretty nose. a touch hot..nice and ripe..which is good for grenache.

Devils share 2006 a touch corked sorry.

Odisea Muse Rose 2007 mostly grenache...rust colored but not taste...sweet nose from a little viognier... dry if slightly bitter but finishes juicy and unctious...seems to be a style for this winery.

Odisea Temporary Insanity 2006..mostly tempranillo....which explains the label...tempranillo from california??dark purple in color.. cedary pretty nose that reminded me of the aromas from the tempranillo yesterday with Murrietta...very ribera del duero in style..deep and rich...intense dark fruit, chocolate and mocha... very nice..around $28 i bought or asked for a case...wine of the day for me

Odisea The Wanderer Napa 2006 heavy brooding color thats not reflected in the nose...some bacon fat which i adore in syrah... but not on the palate... i think i was expecting it to deliver more from the nose it gave. the Insanity was much more interesting and drinkable.

May be a while before these come in the store..not yet approved in the state..

Angele Rhone White blend...similiar to the quandry but with grenache blanc instead of viognier...another pretty heavy yellow, sweet nose, lots of sweet aromas and flavors but finishing dry...a hint of petrol,, very rich unctious with lots of texture...fun wine..around $20
