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
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 (on the 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+.
