PlumpJack Winery's Napa Valley Syrah is a robust, full-bodied red wine with deep, rich flavors that showcase the unique terroir of the region. This Syrah is made from grapes harvested from some of Napa Valley's finest vineyards, where cooling breezes from San Pablo Bay and a Mediterranean climate create ideal growing conditions. The resulting wine is aged in French oak barrels, which impart a complex layer of spiciness and vanilla to the long finish. The nose is full of dark fruit aromas and hints of black pepper and smoke, while on the palate, flavors of blackberry, plum, and chocolate dance together with balanced acidity and smooth tannins. This is a wine that will impress even the most discerning palate and is a true representation of PlumpJack Winery's dedication to quality and tradition.

Tasting Notes

Inky dark colour, aromas of black pepper and cherries, on the palate, soft, grainy-textured tannins and bright acidity. Lush plum, berries, cocoa, and peppercorns with a hint of grilled meat, full-bodied and rich yet with a firm backbone of tannin and acidity, and great lenght.

About the Winery

The story and history of PlumpJack Winery began in 1992 with a humble and ordinary wine store in the neighbourhood of Fillmore in San Francisco. It went by the name PlumpJack Wines. It grew into the renowned winery we see today due to the determination and efforts of Gavin Newsom and Gordon Getty. Their mutual passion and love for wine allowed them to establish the wine estate and increase its fame exponentially.

PlumpJack Winery derives its name from a memorable character created by the reputed author, Shakespeare. The founders got the inspiration for the winery’s title and table from Sir John “PlumpJack” Falstaff. He was a fun-loving, rational, responsible, yet irrelevant character. Nevertheless, he possessed immense loyalty towards his masters, dreams, and aspirations. Gavin Newsom and Gordon Getty found this quality exceptionally redeeming. They used this philosophy when setting up PlumpJack Winery on a 42-acre land in Napa Valley. They wished to incorporate such a mindset in the workings and processes of their vineyards and cellars.

Today, PlumpJack Winery remains famous all around the globe for its high-quality wines that possess and can deliver an approachable and inviting style.
