Product Description
RP100 "The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, which is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot, has off-the-charts richness and intensity, an opaque bluish purple color, and an extraordinary nose of white flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, graphite, and charcoal embers. Full-bodied, super-intense, with great ripeness of fruit, this is a 50-year wine. Give it another 3-4 years of aging, but it is actually more approachable than the 2014. This is profound and utterly world-class in every sense." RP Dec 2016
"Tasted from a bottle under screwcap, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (containing a 6% dollop of Petit Verdot) is a total Napa rock star Cabernet, sporting an inky purple-black color and a gregarious cassis, crushed blackberries and mulberries nose with hints of incense, dusty earth and menthol, plus a waft of lilacs. Big, bold, buxom and voluptuous, it is very full, perfectly ripe and incredibly seductive in the mouth, with lovely fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness to support, going into an epically long, spicy finish."

Robert Parker writes, "This famed 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." Published: Dec 30, 2016
