The 2017 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished Napa Valley blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting notes from Merlot, Malbec, and Petite Sirah. Sourced from top vineyard sites across Napa—Howell Mountain, Stags Leap, Oak Knoll—this wine combines ripe dark fruit (blackberries, cassis, cherries) with layers of espresso, cocoa, and crushed rock minerality. Aged 18 months in 50% new French oak, it delivers a supple texture, bright acidity, and refined tannins.
With a 91–92 point consensus from critics, it’s a bold yet balanced wine, approachable now but structured enough to age gracefully. A strong value for under $70, especially for those who appreciate modern Napa Cabs with finesse and depth.
