2023 PlumpJack Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville

“The 2023 PlumpJack Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a true expression of time and place — multifaceted and intriguing flavors derived from our diverse and complex soils with a purity and focus that only a cooler vintage can deliver. The nose opens with plum, boysenberry, wild blackberry, and black cherry along with classic notes of mint and sage. Under the fruit, the oak-derived flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, and cocoa nib contribute warmth and depth. The palate is delightfully rich, round, and velvety. This silky texture is balanced by a firm, fine tannin and a mouth-watering acidity that draws you back in for another sip. But before you go back in, appreciate the layers of flavors and textures in the persistent finish.” — Winemaker Aaron Miller
