The last time PlumpJack’s Winery tasked winemaker Jeff Owens with making an inaugural release for their portfolio, he did so to the tune of 100-points with the release of the 2012 Odette Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon.
So when Plumpjack decided they wanted to make the best under $100 Napa Valley Cabernet with their new Adaptation Cabernet, it was no surprise who got the nod to make it. As competitive as any winemaker in Napa, Owens is always trying to make the best wine. His wines typically tend to be energetic, expressive and super approachable – all great qualities that tend to bode especially well for scoring, since the wines rarely “need a decade in a bottle” before they start to show who they are.
The Adaptation Cabernet allows Owens to make a Cabernet with other Bordeaux varietals from a collection of the top vineyards from across the valley. This is PlumpJack’s “Quilt” so to speak. It features Cabernet along the Silverado Trail in Stag’s Leap from their own Odette Vineyards as well as Heitz’s Trailside Vineyard, to go with fruit from St. Helena, Chaix’s vineyard in Rutherford, Merlot from the rocky terrain of Howell Mountain, along with fruit from Oak Knoll, and Carneros.
Opaque to the rim with sweet blackberry, wild cherries, plums, cocoa and creme de cassis with notes of violet on the nose. It’s wonderfully rich and full-bodied with expressive aromas, ripe fruit and a wonderfully silky texture. This is a big boy, yet very elegant and refined with nuance and waves of depth that suggest that even though it’s killer now, it might still be a few years away from its prime. It’s going to win a lot of people over.

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
