elevation society SUMMER 2021
Dear Elevation Society Member, Our transition from winter to spring saw the beauty of bud break, and now we’re witnessing the vines transition to an exuberant display of tender leaves that cover the valley floor. The vines have officially woken to the spring season, and the region is bursting with life. We’re feeling optimistic as we break out of our own state of quarantine. Our team at all four wineries is ready to welcome our guests and introduce our latest releases. Choose from a relaxed tasting on the back porch at PlumpJack Estate Winery; stunning views atop Howell Mountain at CADE Estate Winery; a visit to world-renowned Stags Leap District at Odette Estate Winery; and lastly, an elevated Library Wine Tasting experience at 13th Vineyard on Howell Mountain. Springtime is a great time to visit when the valley is in full splendor, and the weather is just right. Please reach out to our team to book your visit in advance. We look forward to helping you with your Napa Valley experience. Thank you for your continued support of our Napa Valley Wineries.

V I N TA G E
The 2018 13th Reserve Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is from our newly acquired 154-acre property, 82 planted acres, on Howell Mountain, 13th Vineyard. This property was the 13th bonded winery in California, dating back to 1886. The property is planted to 74 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.5 acres of Malbec, and 1 acre of Petit Verdot. The fruit in 2018 was harvested between October 11th and October 29th.
WINEMAKER IMPRESSIONS
The 13th Vineyard Reserve has aromas of raspberry coolie, graham cracker, bing cherry, black cherry, boysenberry, coco nib, cinnamon, clove, crushed rock, and cedar. In the palate are flavors of blueberry, milk chocolate, red fruits, brown sugar, cola, fresh raspberry, and chocolate mousse. There is a beautiful density and weight in the palate. The mouthfeel is lingering and has a balanced structure and tannin profile. The 2018 is a blend of seven of the best blocks on the property. There are four clones of Cabernet Sauvignon represented, 337, 7, 6, and 191. The Petit Verdot used in the blend adds a floral component in the nose as well as some dark fruits in the palate.
