ODE TO SOUL
A dream collaboration between Robert Mondavi Winery and VII(N) The Seventh Estate, founded by Carmelo Anthony and Asani Swann.
“Ode to Soul is a testament to the power of collaboration and our commitment to expanding horizons in the wine space.”
CARMELLO ANTHONY
With a shared passion for introducing the world of wine to others, this collaboration represents what can happen when traditional winemaking meets fresh perspectives.
With Ode to Soul, we look to harmonize tradition with innovation, and create an enriching environment where every individual can find their place at the table, and appreciate the beauty of wine.
THE WINE
For Carmelo, this meant entwining his love for bold, complex wines with a deep finesse. Blended with the elegant style, expressive flavors, and freshness of Robert Mondavi Winery, this allowed Genevieve to play with different varietals to let the magic of To Kalon Vineyard truly shine through. To them, this was a journey in blending perspectives, flavors, and personalities.
