Odette 2018 “Adaptation” Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Winery Notes: ” The 2018 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon is opaque purple in color, presenting notes of wild blackberries, luxardo cherries, plums, crème de cassis with hints of fresh spring flowers. This full-bodied expression displays beautiful ripeness with elegant, very fine, well-integrated tannins and a gorgeous silky texture. Built for near term appreciation and long-term potential, this forward, upfront and an approachable style can be enjoyed over the next decade. Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 2% Petite Sirah.”

WS 92 Points: “This is sourced from a range of sites across the valley and blended with 18% Merlot and 2% Petite Sirah, designed to be enjoyed in its youth. Sweet oak supports a soft, integrated and full-bodied core of cassis, dark cherry, cedar, and clove, with a moderate grip of oak and tannin..”
