1999 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
The 1999 vintage marks the first harvest of our hillside vineyards. Grapes from these higher elevations produce complex flavors, lower yields, and enhanced structure for aging. Over a decade later, this lustrous wine reveals black cherry, chocolate, cedar and vanilla with supple tannin. Drink now or hold up to 2014 for peak maturity. We recommend decanting for 30 minutes.
