elevation society WINTER 2020
Dear Elevation Society Member, We are grateful for all your strong support over the past few months. Navigating a business through a global pandemic and natural disasters has taught us more than a few lessons, and your loyalty has been a humble reminder of your love and appreciation for our wineries in the Napa Valley. Thank you for allowing us to keep doing what we love most, sharing our beautiful land with you through our wines. Napa Valley has a rich and long history of respecting the fruits of our labor and cultivating excellency thought winemaking, with your support it will continue for many vintages to come! For our November allocation we are delighted to bring to you our newly released 2018 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, please learn more about this ultra-round and complex vintage in the detailed tasting notes by our Odette winemaker Jeff Owens. Remember that these wines are available to you first to drink, eat, share, celebrate (even if virtually) and experience Napa Valley once more. Thank you for being you,
Oscar Riveiro Woolsey Membership Manager
A LETTER TO OUR MEMBERS

cabernet sauvignon N A PA VA L L E Y | 2 0 1 8
V I N TA G E
In 2018 we continued to work closely with our favorite local growers throughout the broader Napa Valley. The backbone of this blend comes from Ink Grade (onthe back side of Howell Mountain), which provides the framework and structure to carry this wine. This site is complemented by Oso Vineyard, which is located 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. All of these sites come together in unison to create a beautiful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. This diversity and range within the Napa Valley has allowed us to craft a wine which showcases the unique terroir in an approachable, elegant style.
WINEMAKER IMPRESSIONS
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 approachable style can be enjoyed over the next decade+.
