Behind the Name

Adaptation, in its purest sense, evokes the transformative power of resilience and refinement. Originating from the Latin adaptō, it serves as a dynamic bridge between a composition rewritten into a new form and the adjustment to environmental conditions. This duality resonates in each bottle of Adaptation, capturing the soul of Napa Valley’s distinct terroir and the art of winemaking.
