Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - 2012 (1.5L) Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja) 99 Fess Parker Santa BarbaraThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Estate Oakville adds a lot of structure and even more density to the basic cuve. Its an inky ruby purple, has notes of graphite and toasty vanilla, but is dominated by the black cherry and blackcurrant fruit spectrum. Full bodied, powerful and formidable in extract and richness, this wine will benefit from 3 5 years of cellaring and keep 25 30 years. Its a stunning example of the vintage from a great terroir.
