Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"In 2019 we continued to work closely with our favorite local growers throughout the broader Napa Valley. The backbone of this blend comes from Oso Vineyard. This newly acquired Estate Vineyard delivers an abundance of fruit, color, and tannin, providing the framework and structure to carry this wine. This site is complemented by Ink Grade Vineyard, which is in very close proximity, our Estate Vineyard in the Stags Leap District, Blue Tooth Vineyard down the road from Odette in Oak Knoll, and Las Amigas Vineyard in Carneros. Each of these sites come together in unison to create a beautiful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that captures the diversity and range of the unique terroir within Napa Valley in a complex yet approachable, elegant style.
The 2019 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from a superb vintage. Revealing blackberries, black currants, crème de cassis, with hints of espresso, cocoa powder and fine gravely undertones, this seamless full-bodied wine carries remarkable freshness and purity, delivering up front appeal with long term potential."

"An offering from Odette, Adaptation's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon features a nice mix of red and black fruits—cherries and cassis—plus hints of vanilla and cedar. It's medium to full-bodied but easy to drink and not overly rich or textured, but it's nicely balanced, with a long, mouthwatering finish." -JC, 1/31/24

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Adaptation is a rich, bombastic wine from vineyards in Pope Valley. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather and tobacco are front and center. A dollop of Merlot adds mid-palate pliancy and juiciness. This full-throttle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the goods." -AG, Dec/2023
