Plumpjack Estate Cabernet 2010 (MAGNUM)

Description

Wine Advocate 94

This is a signed Magnum by the owner, consultant and the winemaker at the time,  Gordon Getty, Nils Venge and Tony Biagi (Truly a collectors bottle!)

Some light label wear from cellar racking and one scrape/fold on the foil capsule (see photos below).

“The inky purple-colored 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals a beautiful nose of sweet cassis, vanilla, fruitcake and a touch of graphite. Full-bodied, rich and pure, but neither overbearing nor heavy, there is plenty of tannin, but it is cushioned by extravagant fruit and ripeness. It should drink well for a minimum of 20-25 years.” – Robert Parker

This enviable estate on the Oakville Corridor, sandwiched between Rudd Estate and Screaming Eagle, and overlooked by Dalla Valle and a handful of other blue bloods is the former Villa Mt. Eden estate made famous by Nils Venge in the 1970s. The great wines of Villa Mt. Eden are well represented by what Plumpjack has accomplished since they took over this estate. There are two cuvees, the basic Cabernet Sauvignon and a Reserve offering.
