2022 PlumpJack Syrah, Napa Valley

“The 2022 PlumpJack Syrah opens with captivating aromas of red cherry, blueberry, and rhubarb. Black olive and smoked meats add a savory appeal, while hints of dried herbs and white pepper bring a rustic charm. The palate unfolds with juicy boysenberry and black cherry, accompanied by the subtle elegance of dried herbs and the decadent richness of cocoa and caramel. Notes of nutmeg, allspice, and pepper add a tantalizing warmth. The wine’s structure is defined by firm yet supple tannins, imparting a sense of depth and refinement. Bright acidity lends a vibrant energy, enlivening the palate and leaving a lasting impression with an enduring finish.” — Winemaker Aaron Miller
