A word from Josh at the PlumpJack Winery...
It will be an exciting day at PlumpJack Winery on Friday, October, 10 2009. We have the pleasure of crushing eleven tons of Pat Garvey Vineyard’s 2009 St. Helena Chardonnay. Our crush pad is located adjacent to our hospitality room, which creates a great chance for your guests to see our winemakers doing what they love most-- making PlumpJack wines. As an added bonus to crush, we will also be featuring our 2007 PlumpJack Reserve Chardonnay and our 2006 PlumpJack Estate Cabernet Sauvignon for your guests and friends to sample and purchase. The Cabernet is only being poured one day a week at PlumpJack due to the dwindling inventory on hand.
The 2007 Reserve Chardonnay is a perfect match to prior vintages. Primary aromas of baked apple, Bartlett pear, banana, and pineapple give way to flavors of pineapple, guava, apple cobbler and cinnamon spice cake. In its youth this wine posses striking acidity and after a year of bottle age you can expect this wine to develop rich mouth coating textures of classic full bodied chardonnays. Given the wine’s natural acidity, this wine is firm enough to age for 3-4 years.The 2006 PlumpJack Estate Cabernet Sauvignon features primary aromas of black cherry, plum, cocoa powder and black currant are followed by secondary aromas of raspberries, baker chocolate and briar patch. In the mouth, primary flavors of plums, roasted almond, black cherry and black olive are followed by secondary aromas of blackberry pie filling, vanilla bean and stone fruit. The finish is long and rich with a hint of tannin which points in the direction that this is a wine with ageing potential. Beautifully crafted with wonderful fruit purity, this wine will easily age for the next 7-10 years. Can’t wait to see you at PlumpJack.
