Odem Mountain Har Odem Reserve Merlot 2019

 Odem Mountain, Merlot, Reserve: Dark, almost impenetrable purple. On the nose, ripe blackberries, raspberry jam, as well as hints of spices and cedar box. Full-bodied, with layers of very ripe crushed berries, black plum jam, and oriental spices, followed on the mid-palate by notes of toffee and herbs, medium acidity, sweet tobacco, and raspberries, with notes of vanilla and dark chocolate with near-sweet, searing tannins coating the mouth on the long and ripe finish.
