A little more structure is showing than what’s typical for a Jordan Cabernet. Clearly the vintage allowed for it and they embraced it. What is typical is the level of excellence when delivering the purity of the Alexander Valley profile, with some oak still integrating. It was a favorite with my tasting group even in its youth, and it should calm over the next ten years into a real beauty. Contains 10% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
