Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon

Shop for Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
The spirit of the Estate Concept is our foundation for winemaking. Wisdom and experience, garnered through decades of disciplined vineyard care, guide the development of quality grapes. Each passing year sees increased maturity in the vines of Jordan's estate vineyard as varietal fruit aromas and flavors deepen. Jordan's 1988 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon offers layers of cherry, cassis and subtle oak character. Cool, slow fermentation retains the deep fruit qualities while awarding full and plentiful tannins to the wine. Two years of aging in French and American oak evolved the complexity and elegance so distinctive of Jordan's Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon. Two further years of bottle aging assure proper development of the wine at the time of its release to market. The attractive bouquet, supple tannins and generous fruit of this vintage invite early drinking. Its fine balance and firm structure will enhance the aging potential well into the close of the century.
