2012 Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L

2012 Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L Deep dark fruits like blackberry and bing cherry, oak and touch of vanilla and chocolate. Mellow tannins and well balanced. Would be a definite crowd pleaser.

Pure elegance in a glass. Aromas of black cherries pomegranate dried cranberries and a hint of graphite channel classic Bordeaux. Its lovely silky texture coats the palate with layers of black cherries and a touch of cedar from French oak’s fine tannins. From beginning to end the balance carries all the way through.

92 points Wine & Spirits: Jordan has always hewed to a discrete style of cabernet—a style that was a natural match for the cool 2011 vintage. This is quiet and supple, garnet-red rather than purple, with aromas of rose and tobacco leaf lasting in a long, bright line of flavor. It’s an elegant cabernet to decant now for duck breast or age for another five years or more.

92 points Wines & Spirits: An “…elegant wine with enough bottle maturity on release to turn the tannins toward silk. This late release in magnum is fragrant with red and black currant flavor, along with hints of tobacco. The tannins still hold some sharp edges, but the wine feels harmonious and integrated…”
