This Syrah is truly a wine of place. The Los Carneros growing region’s cooler climate dictates this wine’s character, helping the Syrah to fully develop ripe fruit character while retaining freshness and incredible spice. The nose of the 2019 PlumpJack Syrah opens up with a range of fresh berries – blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, and cranberry. Just behind the fruit are beautiful warming spices – cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black and white peppercorn. Additional layers of more earthy notes include damp soil, crushed granite, and cured tobacco. The palate is full-bodied, with a round, silky texture beautifully framed by firm yet supple tannin. This is a beautiful and complex wine.
