PlumpJack Merlot 2013 750ml

Winemaker Notes:

Our Merlot vineyard is in the Oak Knoll region of the Napa Valley, nestled
up to the Mayacamas Mountain Range on the west side of the valley. The
mild climate and alluvial soils in this region lend this wine great balance
and structure. The mild temperatures allow these grapes to develop bright
aromatics and flavors, along with a beautiful natural acidity and elegance.
The alluvial soils bring darker fruits to the nose and palate, and give this wine
its structure and concentration. The 2013 vintage gave this wine aromas
of bright, wild raspberry, black cherry, earth, and slate, with the barrels
contributing some spice and smoke. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with
bright and sweet fruits, such as raspberry and cherry. The wine then reveals
earthy notes and finishes with dark chocolate. The robust structure and
bright acidity give this wine great tension, balance, and a lengthy finish.

"A sexy, seductive wine, Plumpjack's 2013 Merlot (92% Merlot and 8% Malbec aged in 65% new French oak) is soft and round, shows juicy, plum, mocha and black cherry fruit, is low in acidity, lush and a total hedonistic turn-on. Drink it over the next 5-7 years." 90 Points The Wine Advocate
