Plumpjack
Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Full-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing plums, blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, earth and dark chocolates.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and elegant. Tangy and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and so much better after 3 hours of airtime.
This 7 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.
Wine Spectator 93 points. Wine Advocate 94 points.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in (78% new) French Oak barrels for 20 months.
15.2% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$160.

Haven’t had this for yonks as can’t afford it any more.
Love the tasting room in Napa. But for the money, I’m a little disappointed with this. Not plush or integrated. Mocha and cedar dominate. Good tannins and acidity. Give this more time, but not worth the $150 which I paid.
