2002 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
Considered a vintage of patience and arguably this decade’s greatest, 2002 has evolved into a ringer for Left Bank Bordeaux with its silky-smooth tannins and layers of complex cherry and cassis fruit. This is an ever-changing wine that is tasting magnificent this year. Decant 30 minutes prior to serving. Drink now through 2017.
