2013 Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, USA (1.5L MAGNUM)

TASTING NOTES:

Open and lush, this is a statement of elegance unfolding. Red fruit morphs to dark, and balance is evident. This is one of the more light-hearted vintages for this expressive red. Drinking now is praiseworthy, but age-ability is clearly marked for future pleasure.

One of my favourite recent vintages of Jordan, this dark, dense, rich wine has both a powerful structure and vibrant energy. The growing season started out warm and dry, but moderate weather throughout the summer built the wines concentrated flavours, fine tannins, and more complexity than usual. It feels like a wine that will live a long, long time.

This food-friendly wine is most remarkable for its structure and gracefulness on the palate. Herbal on the entry, it offers grip and elegance within sturdy elongated tannins, a note of brushy cedar and sage and integrated French oak.
