2021 Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Deep and complex, this Old-World-style vintage offers a harmonious blend of dark fruit, spice and earth. Mixed berries and bright blueberry meet a subtle hint of clove on the nose, leading to rich layers of blackberry, cocoa nib and white pepper on the palate. Structured tannins provide depth and balance, while extended aging in French oak enhances its elegance.

Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec

TASTING NOTES:

The nose is slightly restrained and intriguing, with graphite, dried herbs, black cherries, red cherries, anise and stones. The palate is incredibly silky and complete, with rose petals in the finish. A very pretty cabernet that is wonderful now and will reveal more with time. Drink or hold.
