Adaptation (Odette) Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "[$78 list] Coming mostly from the Oso Vineyard in Pope Valley, but with fruit from sites throughout the Valley, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 2% Petite Sirah that spent 18 months all in French oak. Red and black fruits, spicy herbs, chocolate, and hints of leather all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, some classic 2019 opulence, and velvety tannins. A terrific value, it will drink well for at least a decade. Drink: 2023-2033. (12/26/23)"

91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Adaptation is a rich, bombastic wine from vineyards in Pope Valley. Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather and tobacco are front and center. A dollop of Merlot adds mid-palate pliancy and juiciness. This full-throttle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the goods. Drink: 2024-2034. (Dec 2023)"

91 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "An offering from Odette, Adaptation's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon features a nice mix of red and black fruits—cherries and cassis—plus hints of vanilla and cedar. It's medium to full-bodied but easy to drink and not overly rich or textured, but it's nicely balanced, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink: 2023-2030. (Jan 2024)"

91 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2019 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, with 18% Merlot and 2% Petite Sirah in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of blackcurrant jelly, juicy plums, and black raspberry leap from the glass, leading to hints of dried herbs and charcoal. The full-bodied palate is packed with expressive black berry flavors, supported by plush tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and lifted. Alcohol 14.8%. Drink: 2023-2035. (12/21/23)"
