About This Wine

Jordan

Cabernet Sauvignon

Combining the artistry of the old world with the new technology, Jordan produces Cabernet Sauvignon, blended in the tradition of Bordeaux. Rich in texture with opulent flavors, a restrained use of oak, and a lingering finish of subtle earth and smoke. 2016 was an incredible year for Cabernet Sauvignon. Right off the vine, the fruit aromas were so bright, beautiful, and rich, and the delicious fruit flavors were maintained all the way to the bottle. This is a wine that tastes great now but also has the structure to make it a phenomenal library vintage.

Wine Region

Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.

  • A figure representing the Black Cherry tasting note. Black Cherry

Aromas of black cherries wrapped in a spice box of nutmeg, clove, and allspice jump from the glass. The palate is filled with flavors of blackcurrants and plum that lead seamlessly to silky tannins and black cherry notes. Blackberry, fig, and black cherry notes linger on the finish.
