Winemaker Notes

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.

Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 2% Petite Sirah

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon masterfully combines power and style. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, spice, and oak. Enjoy it with grilled flank steak tacos. (Tasted: October 5, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Enthusiast

This is sourced from a range of sites across the valley and blended with 18% Merlot and 2% Petite Sirah, designed to be enjoyed in its youth. Sweet oak supports a soft, integrated and full-bodied core of cassis, dark cherry, cedar and clove, with a moderate grip of oak and tannin.

WS 90

Wine Spectator

Intense, with boysenberry, blackberry and plum compote flavors gliding through. Framed by ganache and roasted vanilla notes and backed by a licorice-coated finish. For fans of the style. Drink now.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

View all products

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
