Description
Plume Winery is a joint venture between the Stewart family of BC's Quails' Gate winery and Napa Valley's Daniel Zepponi. The project is a first for any Okanagan producer. This is Plume's debut wine.

Tasting Notes
Plume is owned by Okanagan Valley-based Quails' Gate Estate. The 2016 vintage began cold and wet in the Alexander Valley, the latest AVA to play home to the Plume cabernet. The rest of the growing season basked in moderate temperatures. The nose is rich, almost zinfandel-like in its exuberance, with ripe black fruits, blackberry, black currant and intense black plum with a sheen of spicy, toasted oak. As shown before, this is a hedonistic, warm, vibrant, crowd-pleasing style best served with grilled meat and mushrooms. The final blend is a mix of 87/5/4/3/1/ cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petite verdot, merlot and cabernet franc. Score - 89. (Anthony Gismondi, gismondionwine.com, Oct. 26, 2019)
