Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
2022 PlumpJack Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville (6-Pack)
The 2022 PlumpJack Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot sourced primarily from the gravelly I & K blocks on the east side of our estate. These blocks were subdivided and picked into smaller lots to ensure the grapes were picked at the peak of maturity. At harvest, the lots used for this blend were destemmed into 44% oak, 35% concrete, and 21% Stainless Steel tanks. The grapes were cold soaked for four days before beginning fermentation, then pressed once the wines obtained the desired flavor, concentration, and tannin. The wines were then racked to French oak Sylvain, Taransaud, and Darnajou barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging. This blend was aged in 93% new oak barrels. The wine was blended in the spring after harvest and aged for a total of 19 months prior to bottling.
