Plumpjack Reserve Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

New release of Plumpjack's Oakville Estate Cabernet - limited.97-100 Points Robert Parker:  "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve boasts a black/purple color along with a glorious bouquet of graphite, white flowers, black raspberries, black currants and cassis liqueur followed by sweet, broad, expansive flavors with surprising elegance as well as power and finesse. This is a tour de force in winemaking, balancing the extraordinary richness, ripeness and power of Napa Valley with remarkable clarity and elegance. It should drink well for 25-30 years. ...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."
