2013 Plumpjack, Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Oakville, Bottle (750ml)

RP100 The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Estate Oakville is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot aged in 100% new French oak. This is perfection and an absolutely amazing effort. The wine is dense purple with sweet tannin, oodles of blueberry and blackberry fruit caressed by toasty new oak, and a full-bodied multi-dimensional mouthfeel -- akin to a skyscraper in the mouth, but without any heaviness. The finish goes on for a good 45+ seconds, and the wine is super-pure and majestic. Truly a tour de force in Cabernet Sauvignon. Kudos to Plumpjack." RP DSec 2013

JD100 "Pure perfection in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a massive wine that brings incredible intensity and depth while staying pure, precise, and elegant, which isn’t an easy feat. Black fruits, camphor, iron, and scorched earth define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a concentrated, powerful mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a gorgeous finish. This is pure gold. Drink bottles any time over the coming two decades." JD Feb 2023
