These first releases from Odette and winemaker Jeff Owens are gorgeous. Odette is the Stags' Leap property of the Plumpjack group. The property encompasses 45 acres, all in Stags Leap. Odette's Estate Cabernet is made from various parcels, while the Reserve emerges from Odette's oldest vines, which were planted in 1979 and 1980 and account for about 6-7% of the holdings. Most of the early Odette Cabernets have included significant percentages of blenders, the 2013 Reserve being the exception. It will be interesting to see how things develop here in coming years. Odette is certainly off to a very strong start.

Odette is the newest addition to the Plumpjack portfolio of wineries. General Manager John Conover describes the acquisition as mostly a fortuitous case of being in the right place at the right time. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. In Odette's case it looks like the team is both lucky and good. Winemaker Jeff Owens has done a fabulous job with the first wines from this property in Stags' Leap.
