About the Wine
Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is a showstopper. Its black cherry, boysenberry, and black fig aromas jump out of the glass and, the wine’s smooth, rich tannins go on forever, making this a vintage that will age gracefully. The blend includes: 80% Cabarnet Savignon, 11% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec. 37 months of aging. The wine was aged in french oaks for 13 months (35% new and 65% one-year-old barrels).
Tasting Notes
Rich aromas of black cherry, Mission fig and dark chocolate mingle with clove and nutmeg. The palate is filled with flavors of blackberry and boysenberry that are enveloped in silky tannins, showing complexity beyond its years. Enticing flavors of vanilla bean and hazelnut carry through a velvety richness that lingers on the finish.
Pairing Recommendation
The dark fruit flavors, silky palate and structure make it a lovely wine for food pairing. This wine’s elegance, acidity and spice notes complement grilled or roasted dishes, such as herb-crusted lamb, roasted chicken or grilled pork loin. The wine’s earthiness even complements vegetarian dishes, such as mushroom risotto, ratatouille or roasted root vegetables.
