2020 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

Winemaker Notes: The 2020 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon offers beautiful aromas of ripe black cherry, currant and boysenberry that interlace with delicate notes of cedar. On the palate, a harmonious balance unfolds, showcasing flavors of blueberries, cranberry and clove, all embraced by the smooth tannins imparted by the French oak barrels. Evolving gracefully in the glass, the dark fruit flavors and subtle acidity leave a lasting impression on the palate.

Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Tasting Panel - "With lower alcohol than most California Cabs, this elegant beauty revives an old-world acidity that levels out with freshness on the palate that relates to its excellent food-pairing abilities. Plum, anise, tilled soil, and Italian herbs integrate with a luxe mouthfeel."


James Suckling - "A discrete and savory nose of black currants, tobacco leaves, coffee beans and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and notes of dark cherries, olives and beets. A blend of 83% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% malbec. Drink or hold."


Wine Enthusiast - "The expressive nose of this wine gives aromas of black currant, plum and tobacco, with just a whisper of capsicum. The palate displays vibrant cranberry, black cherry, cigar and black pepper flavors in a medium-bodied frame. This is a great wine for burgers or grilled steak."
