PlumpJack Winery is a boutique winery in Oakville, California specializing in premium Cabernet Sauvignon wines. PlumpJack was the first winery in Napa Valley to use screwcaps as a wine closure on super premium wines. Approachable, care-free tasting style where you walk up to the counter, decide how you want to taste, and let it happen. It's a relatively small tasting room but it really works because it never feels crowded. Five-star service, everyone there clearly loves what they do and do so without any sort of attitude. Bonus-points for being so nice about our driver sharing a bit of the tasting with me.

They're really known for their Cabs. Beautiful structure, dark cherry berry goodness with hints of mocha. Don't forget about the Chard though! It's surprisingly crisp with magnificent acidity and lovely baked apple aromas.
