Winemaker Notes:
“The 2016 Odette Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap Dictrict is laced with notes of blueberry pie, black currants, black cherries, crushed gravel, spring flowers, fresh lavender, and potpourri. Rich, layered and opaque purple in color, this mouth filling beauty coats the palate as it leads into the weightless, exuberant finish.
“Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot.”
Critical Acclaim
“95 points.
“The deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. It’s beautifully perfumed with fragrant earth, lavender, oolong tea and chocolate-covered cherries with a core of warm cassis, crushed wild blueberries plus a compelling waft of roses. The full-bodied palate has a firm yet somehow wonderfully elegant frame thanks to super ripe, super fine-grained tannins and background freshness supporting the perfumed black fruit layers, leading to a very long finish.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“95+ points. “Starting with the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, it’s a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot that’s all from the Stags Leap District. It offers a monster bouquet of bloody blueberries, cassis, iron, violets, and crushed rocks. This flows to a powerful, rich, yet also pure and elegant Napa Cabernet that has tons of class. It has a focused, slightly tight profile that’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring, and it should evolve beautifully for 2 decades or more.” – Jeb Dunnuck
