2013 Plumpjack "Estate" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon crisp acidityThe 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is dark, dense and beautiful. Layers of blue purplish fruit, mocha, licorice, mint, pine and spices meld together in a juicy, resonant Cabernet Sauvignon that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Today, the 2013 Estate is creamy and wonderfully expressive, with sweet floral and spice notes that add an attractive upper register of aromatic nuance. This is a terrific showing from Plumpjack. (AG)
