PlumpJack 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley – Oakville Estate Reserve
PlumpJack 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse Napa Valley Cabernet with precision and polish. It combines opulent dark fruit with firm structure and freshness, striking a balance between richness and age-worthy discipline. This is classic Oakville Cabernet at a high level—built for collectors and serious Napa enthusiasts.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by PlumpJack Winery in Oakville, one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious Cabernet-growing regions, this Reserve bottling represents the estate’s top-tier expression. PlumpJack has built a reputation over decades for crafting structured, terroir-driven wines that balance modern richness with traditional Napa restraint.
The 2019 vintage is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon (≈90%), with supporting amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec to enhance structure and aromatic complexity.
Oakville’s well-drained soils and warm days produce concentrated fruit, while careful vineyard selection and low yields ensure intensity and precision. The wine is aged in French oak, contributing texture, spice, and longevity. The 2019 growing season in Napa Valley was particularly strong, yielding wines with both power and balance—ideal for long-term aging.

Serving & Occasion
Decant prior to serving. Ideal with prime steak, lamb, or rich braised dishes. Excellent for cellaring over the next 10–20+ years.
"Composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve opens with bombastic blackcurrant preserves and ripe, juicy black plums scents. With coaxing, a whole array of nuances emerge: rose oil, beef drippings, fragrant earth, crushed rocks and wild mushrooms with touches of tapenade and lavender. The full-bodied palate features firm, exquisitely ripe tannins and beautiful freshness to support the bedazzling array of black fruit and earthy/savory layers, finishing very long and very fragrant."
