2005 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon
With concentrated aromas of cassis, cherry, cedar, rose petal and tobacco, this complex wine exhibits blackberry and blueberry flavors with a hint of vanilla from oak aging. 2005 was a vintage that showed well immediately upon its release in 2009, but it is meant for the cellar. This wine will continue to age gracefully until 2021 and perhaps beyond. Decant for 60 to 90 minutes.
