Composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve opens with bombastic blackcurrant preserves and ripe, juicy black plums scents. With coaxing, a whole array of nuances emerge: rose oil, beef drippings, fragrant earth, crushed rocks and wild mushrooms with touches of tapenade and lavender. The full-bodied palate features firm, exquisitely ripe tannins and beautiful freshness to support the bedazzling array of black fruit and earthy/savory layers, finishing very long and very fragrant.

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is an extraordinary wine bursting with class and pedigree. Black fruit, tar, licorice and savory herbs are some of the notes that emerge from this exotic, full-bodied wine. Notes of white flowers add complexity and nuance as the flavors build towards the huge, intense finish. This is another head-spinning wine from winemaker Tony Biagi and his team. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. I have been following Plumpjack since first visiting the winery nearly a decade ago. This is a stunning set of wines from winemaker Tony Biagi, who has succeeded in achieving both astonishing richness and finesse pretty much across the board.Tel. (707) 945-1220

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a totally different beast than any other Plumpjack wine I have ever tasted because of its dark, brooding personality. In 2009 the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is paired with 21% Petit Verdot, which marks the wine to a significant degree. Smoke, tar, licorice, savory herbs and graphite are some of the many notes that burst from this extroverted, intense, totally compelling Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. Wow!
