$ 34.99
New release
CADE is Plumpjack's hot new winery on Howell Mountain. Limited.
This wine is filled with a gorgeous perfume of honeyed pears, guava, lemon grass, pink grapefruit and a waft of lemon lime soda. The palate is full of tropical flavors and delicate kiwi plus a greatintensity of lemon and lime citrus flavors. The semillon and viognier added to the blend invoke another level of complexity with flavors orange blossom and lemon curd. The barrel fermentations add a satiny texture, density and viscosity to the mid-palate of the wine. The concrete adds a touch of flint and mineral to the finish of the wine while the stainless steel fermentations preserve the natural Sauvignon Blanc aromatics, the racy backbone and the zesty crispness..

Adaptation 2015 Petite Sirah, Napa Valley
$ 44.00
A new great-value Petite Sirah from the folks at PlumpJack's Odette Estate. Limited.
The Adaptation 2015 Petite Sirah is loaded with depth, superior concentration and a multitude of layers. It possesses aromatics of blackberry jam, plums, violets, and hints of brown sugar and nutmeg followed by raspberries, cloves and smoky oak on the palate.
PlumpJack 2017 Reserve Chardonnay, Napa Valley
$ 49.99
Limited
New release of Plumpjack's Reserve Chardonnay - limited.
The 2017 PlumpJack Reserve Chardonnay is a fantastic Napa Chardonnay. Aromas of white peaches, pear, orange blossom and warm apple pie filling are followed on the palate with flavors of Fuji apples, cinnamon stick and lemon curd. Very pleasant to drink now but the acidity gives it room to age.
Plumpjack opts not for the typical profile of Napa Chardonnay with this bottling, but for the "alternative," without malolactic fermentation, and the attendant buttery palate profile. The winery's vintage note explains: "The cooler Carneros site imparts this wine with fresh green apple and Bartlett pear on the nose, while the warmer St. Helena site lends to some tropical notes. The Carneros vineyard also gives this wine a beautiful, bright, lively acidity, which is balanced by the creamy, rich texture of the St. Helena fruit. A touch of oak gives the wine traces of vanilla, flint, and spice."
Adaptation 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 53.99
A new great-value Cabernet Sauvignon from the folks at PlumpJack's Odette Estate. Limited.
Blackberry liqueur, blueberries, hints of black currants and dried herbs intertwine into one harmonious wine. The silky texture, fresh acidity and long lingering finish leave a staining impression across the palate. This is a beautiful showing of Cabernet Sauvignon in a truly magnificent vintage.
Plumpjack 2016 Syrah, Napa Valley
$ 59.99
96 Points - limited
New release of Plumpjack's Syrah- limited.
95 Points Jeb Dunnick: "The 2015 Syrah from PlumpJack was fermented with 40% Whole Clusters and raised in 68% new French oak. It’s a gorgeous, pedal to the metal beauty that boasts a deep, saturated purple color as well as tons of smoked meats, blackberry, olive, and wood smoke aromas and flavors. Rich and full-bodied, yet light on its feet, this powerful Napa Valley Syrah has a touch of old world charm and will drink nicely for at least a decade, although I see no need to delay gratification."
95 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2016 Syrah packs a serious punch. Inky and explosive on the palate, the 2016 is shaping up to be another real gem from winemaker Aaron Miller. Even with all of its intensity, the 2016 has a good bit of freshness and structure woven into its intense, dark-fleshed fruit. Scents of lavender, licorice and blueberry pie add to the wine's considerable appeal."
Grown in Napa, but inspired by the Northern Rhone style, this Syrah exhibits a smoky, gamey nose layered with white and black pepper, with complementary notes of blueberry and raspberry aromatics. Well structured, the palate is full of bright raspberries, black pepper and smoke. This wine has beautiful finesse, great concentration and vibrant acidity.
Plumpjack 2014 Syrah, Napa Valley
$ 65.00
96 Points - limited
Plumpjack's limited-production and gorgeous 2014 Syrah available for a limited time.
96 Points Robert Parker: "The 2014 Syrah is gorgeous. Loads of flowery blackberry and cassis fruit, along with spice and forest floor jump from the glass of this killer Syrah. It is no wimpy wine at 15.4% alcohol, but the complex aromatics, the stunningly full-bodied, rich flavors of blue and black fruits, the nicely integrated acidity, tannin and wood, all make for a compelling example of Syrah to drink over the next 10-15 years – perhaps even longer. This is a great effort."
94 Points Wine Spectator: "Polished and impeccably structured, with blackberry and smoky meat aromas and layered, rich flavors of licorice and espresso that linger toward big but firm tannins. Drink now through 2027."
...This famed estate on the Oakville crossroads, which was once the Villa Mt. Eden winery, where Nils Venge made a succession of profound wines in the 1970s, is now owned by the Getty family and called Plumpjack. These are always among my favorite wines in Napa Valley, as they are consistently well-crafted and represent the best of the Oakville corridor.

CADE 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 79.99
CADE is Plumpjack's hot new winery on Howell Mountain. Limited.
The 2014 vintage was more than ideal in Napa Valley. We had perfect growing condidtions in 2014 with no rain during the harvest months and warm temperatures resulting in wines with amazing color, huge density, and great extration.
93 Points Robert Parker: "Cade’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a concentrated wine with real structure and density and seems almost too big and masculine for a 2014. It has great purity and black fruits and richness and should have a good 15 or more years of drinkability....From the owners of Plumpjack Winery, Cade Estate Winery began strongly, and continues to exhibit promise."

CADE 2015 Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 98.00
94 Points - limited
CADE is Plumpjack's hot new winery on Howell Mountain. Limited.
95 Points Antonio Galloni: (Vinous): "Cade's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is rich, sumptuous and alluring. The purity and intensity of the fruit is striking. Super-ripe red cherry, plum, menthol, licorice and violet are some of the many notes that emerge from the glass. Above all else, the 2015 has quite a bit of detail and nuance for such a big wine. This is an especially fruity, lush style for Howell Mountain, but it works nicely. Time in the glass brings out more red-toned character as well as a floral element that is not evident at first."
94 points Robert Parker: "The 2015s, which are somewhat surprisingly already in bottle, include the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate that is an identical blend to the 2014. The wine is dense ruby/purple, plump, juicy and fleshy with plenty of blackberry and cassis fruit. It cuts an even bigger mouth-texture and richness than its older sibling. This is a beauty to drink over the next 12-15 years."

CADE 2014 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley
$ 199.99
95 Points - limited
Extremely rare Estate Cabernet from Cade - Limited.
95 Points Robert Parker: "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (and finished with a screwcap), cuts a broader swath even than the regular bottling, shows sightly sweeter tannin, perhaps more ripeness, but is plush, voluptuously textured, deep, full-bodied and impressively endowed. There is no reason to defer gratification, as this wine is already singing and expressive. Drink it over the next 15 or so years.....From the owners of Plumpjack Winery, Cade Estate Winery began strongly, and continues to exhibit promise."
94 Points Wine Spectator: "Balanced, deep, pure and precise, with a firm core of red and dark berry flavors and shades of mocha and cedar. For all that immediate appeal, there’s also a wonderful sense of harmony and finesse that builds and lingers through the long finish. Best from 2019 through 2029
94 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is bright and aromatically lifted, but it also has tons of depth and fruit voluptuousness. This is another fairly open-knit, opulent Howell Mountain Cabernet that emphasizes accessibility over structure. The Reserve has more richness, intensity and concentration than the Estate, but it is pretty similar in style."
CADE 2015 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 'Reserve', Napa Valley
$ 219.99
95 Points - limited
Extremely rare Estate Cabernet from Cade - Limited.
97 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is dark, inky and voluptuous. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, chocolate and cloves are all amped up in this unctuous, inky Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. There is more than enough fruit intensity to fill out the wine's ample, full-bodied frame. This powerhouse Cabernet is going to need at least a few years to come into its own."
95 Points Robert Parker: "As for the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, this is young and promising with intense crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, licorice, forest floor and earth. It is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. Powerful (15.6% natural alcohol), the wine is neither hot, nor rustic. Its plush tannins and long finish suggest a future of a good 20+ years, even though it is already approachable."
Odette 2015 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 799.00
98+ points - limited
New release from the newest winery from the PlumpJack folks. One of the highest-rated Cabernets of the vintage. *This is a 2-bottle set in wood logo box*
100 Points Robert Parker: "A candidate for perfection is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, which is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot. It is no wimpish wine at 15.4% natural alcohol, but the freshness and delineation are right on. Inky purple, its glorious nose of incense, camphor, blackberries and blueberries as well as some white flowers is followed by a full-bodied, almost never-ending palate that builds incrementally across the mouth, offering a wide spectrum of flavors, a killer, full-bodied texture, and a long finish of close to 50+ seconds. This is a remarkable and incredibly pure, compelling Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 25-30+ years.
Owned by the Getty family, the Odette estate in Stags Leap burst on the scene a few years back with a bevy of great wines, and it looks set to continue building an impressive portfolio."
