Tasting Notes

The 2003 growing season produced an ever-evolving, classic California Cabernet Sauvignon that has come into its own with age. Exotic notes of tea and cigar box open to a silky palate with layers of red fruits, acidity and soft tannins. Though the oak has transitioned into a supporting role for the strawberry and raspberry flavors, the 2003 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon still tastes quite young. Expected to be an early maturing vintage, 2003 continues to defy aging with its elegance and seamless balance. Enjoy now through 2024 in 750mL and 2027 for magnum bottles.
