New release of Plumpjack's Oakville Estate Cabernet, another classic Napa Cabernet - limited.

95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Plumpjack 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is rich, racy and super-expressive. Silky and deep, with notable resonance, the 2021 offers up dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, new leather and licorice. Today, it is a very young wine in need of cellaring, but its potential is evident. Dollops of Petit Verdot and Malbec round out the blend. This should be positively stellar." 

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Cassis, currants, graphite, crushed stone, and some tobacco and sappy herb notes all emerge from the Plumpjack 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, a beautifully textured, full-bodied, Oakville Cabernet that has some classic iron and olive notes with time in the glass. It's one heck of a classic Cabernet from this team that will keep for 15+ years if well stored."

...The famed PlumpJack estate on the Oakville crossroads, which was once the Villa Mt. Eden winery, where Nils Venge made a succession of profound wines in the 1970s, is now owned by the Getty family and called Plumpjack. These are always among my favorite wines in Napa Valley, as they are consistently well-crafted and represent the best of the Oakville corridor."
