Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark Alexander Valley red, crafted since 1972 by Jordan Winery with a Bordeaux-inspired sensibility. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, it is layered with small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, giving it depth without heaviness. Expect a nose of black currant, plum, and tobacco, with a whisper of green pepper, leading into a palate of dark cherry, cassis, and subtle cedar spice, all wrapped in silky, well-integrated tannins. Aged in French oak, it delivers old-world elegance with new-world fruit. Sustainably farmed on the Jordan estate, it is a wine built for the table, not just the cellar.
