Plume Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Napa Valley, California, United StatesPlume Winery bridges the 49th parallel with one Canadian parent (the Stewart family, of Quails' Gate Winery) and one American parent (the Zepponi family, of ZD Winery in Napa Valley). Their joint vintage began with the 2009 vintage, and with fruit sourced across Napa from north of Calistoga through to Rutherford and south to Atlas Peak and Oak Knoll. The resultant blend is splashed with cabernet franc and petit verdot to give a ripe and full bodied red, with warm blackberry fruit, ample plush tannins, spiced oak, dark chocolate cherries, mocha and a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish. When you consider that the wine rests for 20 months in French oak and the price of the land in Napa, the price is impressive. Well-built and ready to drink now, especially if you're faced with roast tenderloin or filet mignon.Tasted: 14 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $29.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
