elevation membership FEBRUARY 2022
Dear Elevation Member, With a new year comes new opportunities. I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Membership Manager with the PlumpJack Collection of Wineries. I come to this role with almost three years of experience working with the PlumpJack, CADE, and Odette Estate properties in the Napa Valley. I started in 2019 as the Events Coordinator and have since taken on different roles learning the various facets of our operations. Most recently, I managed the Outbound Sales Team. In my new role, I am happy to work daily with our Membership Specialist, Becky Stallings, to provide you, our loyal fans the best experience possible. Throughout 2022, we have done our best to put together an incredible array of offerings and new releases for February, April, September, and November allocations, while keeping in mind we did not produce any red wines for the 2020 vintage. By now, I hope you have enjoyed your wine selections from the February Allocation featuring the 2018 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019 Adaptation Petite Sirah, 2019 PlumpJack Merlot, and the 2018 CADE Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain. This year we are celebrating 10 years with our Winemakers from Odette, CADE, PlumpJack, and 13th Vineyard – Jeff Owens, Danielle Cyrot, and Aaron Miller. These masters of their craft and their Winemaking Teams are responsible for the beautiful wines we all get to enjoy. We solute their outstanding work over the past 10 years and we will be celebrating with a series of events featuring a few of their favorite vintages. I have included a list of our upcoming events, and I invite you to join us On The Road this year as we visit Chicago, Miami, Tampa, DC, Atlanta, Boston, New York City, Houston, and Dallas. Thank you for your correspondence and continued support thus far this year. Your engagement keeps us doing what we love. On behalf of myself and Becky, we wish you a prosperous 2022! Cheers!
Zoë Gallop Membership Manager
A LETTER TO OUR MEMBERS

cabernet sauvignon H O W E L L M O U N TA I N | 2 0 1 8
V I N TA G E
The CADE Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from five vineyards on Howell Mountain, including the CADE Estate Vineyard, 13th Vineyard, Ink Grade Vineyard, Cold Springs, and Eagle Summit. The bountiful 2018 vintage started on September 26th, with fruit from the Ink Grade Vineyard and finished on November 9th with fruit from 13th Vineyard.
WINEMAKER IMPRESSIONS
The resulting wine is fantastic with aromas of clove, cranberry, raspberry, coffee, cinnamon, black pepper, and coco nibs. Gloriously pure notes of boysenberry, graphite, blackberry, coffee and dark chocolate soar from the glass and cascade over the palate. The wine is full- bodied, with an opulent, velvety texture, pure, rich with firm tannins and bold structure that is classic Howell Mountain. BY THE NUMBERS BOTTLE
