2004 PlumpJack Syrah (Napa)
750ml $38
The 2004 is a mouthful of wine! Primary aromas of black berries, plums, raspberry jam and vanilla are followed by secondary aromas of coffee, iodine and cigar smoke. Primary flavor of raspberry, plum and black cherry explode in the mouth. The finish is sweet and viscous with a nice level of tannins suggesting this wine will age gracefully for the next 5-8 years. That is I f you can keep your hand off it now!
