PlumpJack Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a true gem, reflecting the excellence and dedication of the PlumpJack Winery. As it fills the glass, it reveals a deep, luxurious garnet hue, a testament to its depth and complexity.
On the nose, it presents a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, including blackcurrant, blackberry, and hints of plum, intertwined with subtle notes of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of dark chocolate, evidence of its time in oak barrels. These aromas form an intricate tapestry of scents, inviting you into its world.
Upon the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon unravels a symphony of flavors. The core of dark fruits is layered with nuances of tobacco, graphite, and a touch of baking spices, providing a profound and multi-layered tasting experience. The tannins, while structured, are velvety, offering a seamless and well-integrated foundation.
Critic Ratings
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 95:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate showed brilliantly, with a ripe, sexy, full-bodied profile that’s just about impossible to resist. Deep purple-hued with lots of red, black, and blue fruits, it shows exotic notes of iron, orange blossom, and chocolate with time in the glass. These all carry to a perfectly balanced, layered 2019 with velvety tannins and the richer style of the vintage front and center. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, and the rest Malbec, it’s going to evolve for two decades.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 94:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the gate with bold blackcurrant and blackberry preserves scents, plus hints of tilled soil, truffles and unsmoked cigars. The full-on opulent, rich, velvety palate is decadently laden with black fruit preserves and earthy accents, finishing long with a lively lift.
