The 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon expresses all the splendor of its vintage in an exquisitely balanced structure of fruit, body and bouquet that has become the trademark of Jordan wines. Winemaker Rob Davis uses only grapes handpicked in Jordan's own vineyards in the Alexander Valley to produce the winery's Bordeaux style Cabernet Sauvignon. Each year the maturing vines of these vineyards yield grapes deeper and more complex in character. The bouquet of Jordan's 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon is full and concentrated; aromas of lush, ripe plum and crisp, varietal fruit unfold slowly releasing subtle hints of anise. The wine is full and round in structure with lavish and deeply set fruit enhanced by two years of aging in small French and American cooperage. Soft plentiful tannins assert themselves in the lingering finish and promise development of the wine for many years to come.
