1997 Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve McWilliam's Vineyard
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / NAPA
Wine Advocate | Rating: 90
A full-bodied, relatively tannic 1997 with a backward style, it exhibits a dense plum/purple color as well as mineral, black currant, floral, earth, and spicy new oak aromas and flavors. This muscular, large-scaled Cabernet Sauvignon requires 4-5 years of cellaring.Author: Robert Parker
The PlumpJack Winery's Estate Vineyard, founded in 1881, is nestled in the nape of the Vaca Mountain range on the eastern side of the Napa Valley. The main winery building, which is still in use, was completed in 1883. Vineyards have covered the Oakville site since the late 1800s.
In the more recent past, the facility where PlumpJack now makes its wine was the original home of Villa Mt. Eden Winery. Begun in 1973 by proprietors James and Anne McWilliams, the vineyard and winery rapidly gained attention for producing dynamic, long-lived wines, with particular emphasis on the estate and reserve Cabernet Sauvignons. Continuing in that tradition by producing the finest Cabernet Sauvignon is PlumpJack Winery's ultimate goal.
