  One of my favorites, but a little thinner than expected. Perhaps around the bend. Drink up.

  Popped and poured at a restaurant. Had this for a decade in the cellar. This needed a solid hour to open up. Everything is in place and this is in its prime. Should age gracefully for another 5-10 years. Gobs of upfront fruit but just shy of a fruit bomb.

  No ranking, corked! OK, if you drink wine regularly, you have to accept that you will get a corked bottle every once in awhile. But when you pay close to $300 for a bottle as I did at the winery with this bottle, then age it in your cellar for several year before popping the cork for a pairing with a great steak dinner, it hurts! Thanks a lot Gavin - not.

  From a 375, into a decanter and drank over an hour. Everyone but me loves Plumpjack and that has not changed, clearly a nice wine but it ain’t me. Earthy dark berry hint of dried cherries, but linear and simple. Oak and tannins integrated and moved over the palate effortlessly. My last Plumpjack in the cellar. If you’re a Plumpjack fan this is prolly in the zone and ready.

  OK. I surrender. This was my last PlumpJack of any vintage, having abandoned it due to mediocrity and excessive prices. This has finally rounded into something pretty damned nice. The vanilla no longer dominates. and a boatload of interesting secondary notes have emerged - tobacco, wet leaves, mushrooms, etc. Kudos are warranted for making a cabernet that has not only lasted for 12 years, but that has continued to evolve and improve. Now about that price...
