Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2010

Saturated deep ruby.  Wild, highly nuanced aromas and flavors of blackberry, cassis, chocolate, espresso, licorice, game and tobacco.  Dense and fine-grained, showing greater concentration than the regular Plumpjack cabernet but coming across as more monolithic today.  This very rich but youthfully tight wine will need at least several years in the bottle to lose some of its baby fat and show more detail.  But it has all the elements for a glorious evolution in bottle.

Cabernet Sauvignon pairs nicely with foods high in fat and protein, including steak, duck, and game. It's a great complement to hearty stews, ribs, and dark, rich sauces.
