Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Ruby red in colour with purple reflections. Vibrant on the nose with red cherry, cassis, plum and stewed fruit. Flavours are bright and chewy, with ripe strawberry, red licorice and toasted oak. Big and plummy with nicely balanced acidity showcasing velvety tannins and refined fruit all the way into the full-bodied mouthwatering finish. A nice pairing with or prime rib, root veggies or pizza. - Tasted Dec 2019

Natalie's Review

Plume Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Alexander Valley, California, United States: A robust Californian cabernet with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis and toasty oak. Decant for 1-2 hours. Supple and complex on the palate. Polished tannins, great depth and layering. Good finish with dark spices and smoke. Pair with a rare steak. Drink: 2019-2025. 287367 14.60% XD 750 mL $39.95 Score: 92/100. October 1, 2021 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review
