The 2021 PlumpJack Syrah is not a shy wine. The nose boasts aromatics of raspberry, cherry, blueberry, boysenberry, and plum. Intermingling with the fruit are the classic cool-climate Syrah notes—white pepper, dried herb, and smoked meats. Layered within these flavors is a unique green peppercorn element, deriving from whole-cluster fermented Syrah. The palate is packed with similar flavors and delivers a silky texture with great weight and concentration, firm tannin, and an enduring finish. This wine is simply delicious.
PlumpJack Winery sits squarely in the heart of Napa Valley’s renowned Oakville region, surrounded by a 42-acre estate vineyard highly-regarded for the quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon.
These grapes were cold-soaked for 4 days, then fermented at a maximum temperature of 92F, and were pressed off the skins after 8-10 days.
Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, and poultry.
