Napa Valley Syrah

See my prior notes. Becoming a benchmark Syrah in Cali for sure. No signs of aging. Opulent and jammy, finishing with white pepper, bold tannins and complementary acidity. Outstanding.

In our opinion, this is one of the best Napa syrah’s in the < $50 category.
Raspberries and blueberries combine with white pepper, and close to neutral oak. Balanced with suave tannins. Never had a poor bottle of syrah from Plumpy.

Closing in on three feet of rain from Harvey. Reaching for something strong. Plumpjack's 2013 Syrah comes from two of the most high profile Napa vineyards for Syrah, Hudson and Stagecoach. Creosote, mocha, crème de cassis, black raspberry, leather, wild game, incense, lavender, and licorice. A mouth-staining mix of Northern Rhone flavor and Southern Rhone richness, with Napa Valley polish.

Very rhone like with huckleberry pie/black pepper palate

This was pretty amazing

Black olive on open but blew off to blueberry pie. Baking spice, vanilla, with bitter graphite on the finish

Plumpjack is a consistent and delicious bottle of wine. Just a nice bottle that serves well with a bit of time after pouring into the glass.

One of my favorites. Great wine with full flavor and spice on the back end. Great for BBQ meats or steak

Opens up nice and becomes bold and silky. I'm in love.

Soft tannins. Very approachable. Lovely.
