PlumpJack Winery, located in Oakville, Napa Valley, was established in 1995 by former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, philanthropist Gordon Getty, and partners. The property, which dates back to 1881 and was previously known as Mt. Eden Winery, has a rich history, including a connection to the film industry in the 1940s. PlumpJack is part of a larger group that includes several other wineries and hospitality ventures. The winery produces between 10,000 and 12,000 cases annually, sourcing grapes from its estate vineyard and other growers. The vineyard is planted with various varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. In late 2022, PlumpJack expanded its holdings by acquiring the Oso Vineyard, enhancing its production capabilities. Visitors to PlumpJack can enjoy tastings in a cozy indoor space or on outdoor patios with vineyard views. The winery is known for its vibrant atmosphere and is particularly popular among younger crowds. PlumpJack is also recognized for its pioneering use of screw cap enclosures, achieving notable accolades for its wines, including multiple 100-point scores from wine critics.
