PlumpJack 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

95 POINTS — Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
“The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, which is a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, is a beauty. Bigger-boned and framed than many 2014’s, with more structure, this is classic Oakville material, with an opaque purple color and a big, sweet kiss of graphite, black currants, Christmas fruitcake and spice box. Full bodied and opulent, with moderate tannin, this is a gorgeous wine to drink now and over the next 20 or more years.”

94 POINTS — Antonio Galloni’s Vinous
“The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is another super-appealing wine. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather and licorice wrap around the palate. Succulent, layered and juicy, the 2014 captures all of the appeal of this Oakville site, albeit in the more restrained style that is typical of the year.”

Winemaker’s Notes - Aaron Miller
“Aromatically expressive, this wine delivers notes of black cherry, ripe raspberry, and hints of sage and clove. On the palate, layered flavors of Bing cherry, chocolate, mocha, vanilla bean, and warming spice round out this rich and balanced wine. The 2014 vintage is beautifully structured and is full of energy - elegantly smooth tannins and vibrantly firm acidity make this wine ideal for drinking now or cellaring for 10 - 15 years.”
