Plumpjack Estate Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (750ML)

94 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Deep and brooding aromas of blackberry compote, blackcurrants, mocha and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins and a generous mouthfeel that is finely integrated, showing layers of mocha, blackcurrants, blood plums, cassis and cured meat. A very fresh yet structured wine that doesn't reflect the difficulties of the vintage. Drink or hold." 01/25

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is laced with dark-toned fruit, grilled herbs, menthol, spice, leather and tobacco. The 2022 is quite savory and on the delicate side, qualities that often take a few years in bottle to show themselves. Here, too, the wine's balance is impeccable. (Drink between 2025-2037)" 12/24

91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "The classic 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from PlumpJack is certainly outstanding, with plenty of classic cassis and darker currant-like fruits as well as some chocolaty oak, graphite, and scorched earth notes. It's medium-bodied, has a nicely balanced, enjoyable mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It shows the sunny, riper side of the vintage, yet this brings a solid sense of elegance, purity, and finesse, which makes it a joy to drink. It should keep for a decade. (Drink between 2025-2035)" 01/25

92 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Bottled after 19 months in two-thirds new French oak, Plumpjack's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate certainly isn't shy on the wood-derived notes, adding vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon scents to a base of cassis fruit. In the mouth, this full-bodied effort is supple and chocolaty, with mocha and caramel notes joining fine-grained tannins on the finish." 02/25
