A LETTER TO OUR MEMBERS
Dear Pursuit Society Member, As you read this letter, the final scheduled pick-ups of the 2021 vintage are arriving in our wineries. The atmosphere at the PlumpJack Collection of Wineries is alive with excitement as Aaron Miller, Danielle Cyrot and Jeff Owens, our head winemakers, report on the laborious efforts of the harvest teams. Traditionally, the end of harvest is the most celebrated time in agricultural regions around the world; and for us in the Napa Valley, it’s also a reason to feel a bit more at ease as the last of the grapes safely make their way into fermentation tanks. As harvest comes to a close, our winemaking teams will continue to work round the clock as the fermentation process begins. Pumpovers, which extract color and add tannic structure to the juices, continue through the night, while fermentation tanks require constant supervision until the winemaker determines the wines are ready to be transferred to the French Oak barrels to complete the aging process. We look forward to sharing what’s already being speculated as an exemplary vintage of Napa Valley with you. As our 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignons continue to sell out, now begins the planning of the release of new vintages. Stay tuned for exclusive first access to these wines. Your continuous support of our Napa Valley Estate Wineries allows us to do what we love most, and for that, we could not be more grateful. Sincerely, Oscar Riveiro-Woolsey and Rebecca Stallings Winery Membership Team

V I N TA G E
The growing season was extremely steady with moderate temperatures throughout the year. We had a very even bloom with version finishing quickly, resulting in healthy balanced yields. Lower than normal temperatures late in the season without the threat of rain, allowed for extra high time with harvest commencing in mid-October. In 2018, we flagged 25 different picks across the Estate over a 20 day span. 98+ POINTS, JEB DUNNUCK
WINEMAKER IMPRESSIONS
The 2018 Odette Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District is full-bodied, multi-dimensional and seamless, with beautifully integrated silky tannins and a commanding presence. Carrying notes of black currants, blackberry preserves, fresh blueberries, hints of lilacs, pencil lead shavings, scorched earth and tobacco. This expressive, vibrant, structured and layered Cabernet Sauvignon, is built for the long haul yet irresistible now. Enjoy over the next 20 plus years.
