Adaptation is the polished, modern expression of the Odette Estate spirit—approachable, generous, and unmistakably Napa Valley. Sourced from top vineyard sites across the valley, these wines deliver plush fruit, refined structure, and that signature Odette elegance in a style that’s instantly enjoyable. The Cabernet Sauvignon layers dark berries, cocoa, and warm spice with velvety tannins, making it a crowd‑pleasing bottle for weeknight dinners or special occasions alike. It’s Napa craftsmanship without the pretense, built for people who simply love great wine.
The 2021 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, leads with a heady aromatic rush of lilac, blackcurrant, ripe raspberry, vanilla, and clove. The palate reveals flavors of blackberry cobbler, fig, and raw almond packed around a tightknit core of soft tannin. The judicious use of new French oak lends structure while adding a flash of espresso and cedar through a luxurious finish.
Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 1% Malbec
92 James Suckling Plush and generous aromas of blackcurrants, blackberry compote, graphite and violets. The palate is full-bodied with bold tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of blood plums, licorice and spices. Very generous and ripe, with high drinkability.
91 Vinous The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Adaptation is a blend of seven different vineyards across the valley, from mountain sites and valley floor sites. Savory and floral notes lead into a core of dark red/purplish fruit. This bold, savory Cabernet Sauvignon packs a pretty serious punch with its mid-weight frame. Best of all, this is a terrific wine for the money.
93 Jeb Dunnuck Deep purple-hued, with great aromatics of cassis, graphite, mint, and tobacco, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to full-bodied and concentrated, showing a focused, elegant mouthfeel, classic 2021 tannins, and a great finish. It will benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar and keep for 15+. Maurity: 2027 2042
