2023 Adaptation Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
“The inaugural 2023 Adaptation Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon pours an intense, deep ruby color. Delicate violet floral notes give way to blackcurrant, mulberry, and savory beef drippings. Mouthwatering salinity frames ripe elderberry, dried fig, and ephemeral petrichor. Firm, fine tannin attests to the Oso Vineyard’s formidable hillsides. Remarkable freshness carries through to a scintillating finish with flashes of cinnamon bark and licorice.” — Winemaker Andrew Haugen

This new bottling showcases the best of Oso Vineyard's hillside parcels. Steep terraces of volcanic Aiken soil bear gnarly 35-year-old vines, which deliver structure and depth. At 1,200 feet of elevation, the crown of the vineyard is defined by well-drained calcareous Tufa loam, the source of energy and complexity.
