One of Napa Valley’s finest Syrahs is Plumpjack’s offering. The blockbuster 2007 Syrah was produced from two sources, the Stagecoach Vineyard in Oakville and Carneros’ Hudson Vineyard. This wine, which includes 35% whole clusters, exhibits an incredible perfume of creosote, blackberries, bacon fat, licorice, and a subtle touch of peppers as well as truffles. Sweet tannins, palate-staining levels of richness, and a sumptuous mouthfeel with no hard edges are the stuff of Syrah dreams. It’s a steal at this price, and should evolve easily for a decade or more. Winemaker Tony Biagia continues to fashion prodigious wines for both the Getty family and its partner, San Francisco’s mayor, Gavin Newsom. The 2007s are the most impressive group of wines Plumpjack has released to date.Tel. (707) 945-1220; Fax (707) 944-0744
