Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

Shop for Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
The 1976 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is already receiving acclaim as one of the great wines of California, even as it is being released. Produced in the Alexander Valley of Sonoma County, the wine is characterized by a remarkably elegant balance of fruit and tannin, highlighted by a richly perfumed bouquet. The immense charm and finesse of this exceptional wine is strongly evocative of the style of the great Clarets of Bordeaux. At present, the wine is surprisingly pleasant and inviting, yet blessed with a tannic backbone that will insure the continued development of complexity for years to come.
