Winery Notes:
The 2021 Odette Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, opens with delicate aromas of violet and freshly ground baking spices atop layers of creme de cassis, fresh Santa Rosa plum, and luscious black cherry. On the palate, rich fruit melds seamlessly with exultant, plush tannin as a crescendo of acidity lends verve through a long finish framed by French oak

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous with classic Stags leap purity and finesse in its cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as chalky minerality, flowers, and spicy, graphite-like notes. Full-bodied, concentrated, and pure on the palate, it has fine tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. It's concentrated, but this is more about finesse and elegance.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a gorgeous wine done in the large-scale style favored by the estate. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice, espresso, menthol and copious new oak are all dialed up. As always, the Odette Cabernet is more a wine of style than of place, but its beauty is pretty undeniable. Dense and rich on the close, the 2021 is impossible to ignore.
