Odette is an intriguing estate. In 2012, the PlumpJack Group purchased the property and cellar from the Steltzner family. Since then, Odette has worked diligently to redevelop most of the vineyard holdings, but that also means that it will likely be some years before the full potential of this site can be realized. One of the unique aspects of Odette is the presence of a fair amount of blenders. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot are all planted here.

Winemaker Jeff Owens is doing terrific work at Odette. Personally, I think the wines (the Reserve in particular) could be less bombastic and truer to Stags Leap, but at the same time, there is probably a desire to keep the Plumpjack group's three estates - Plumpjack, Odette and Cade - stylistically aligned, which does make sense. Still, my distinct impression is that the full potential of this site remains untapped. Odette is a very young winery, so there is every reason to think these Cabernets will only improve as Owens gets to know the site better.
