Plume Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesPlume is owned by Okanagan Valley-based Quails' Gate Estate. The 2016 vintage began cold and wet in the Alexander Valley, the latest AVA to play home to the Plume cabernet. The rest of the growing season basked in moderate temperatures. The nose is rich, almost zinfandel-like in its exuberance, with ripe black fruits, blackberry, black currant and intense black plum with a sheen of spicy, toasted oak. As shown before, this is a hedonistic, warm, vibrant, crowd-pleasing style best served with grilled meat and mushrooms. The final blend is a mix of 87/5/4/3/1/ cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petite verdot, merlot and cabernet franc.Tasted: 26 October 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
