BACKGROUND:
Jordan Vineyards almost single-handedly put Alexander Valley on the map. Since the release of their first wine, the 1976 Cabernet Sauvignon, they’ve been a standard bearer for what this warm-climate corner of Sonoma County can produce. And year after year Jordan’s Cabernets continue to deliver bold, ripe flavors beautifully polished with ideal balance for aging.

Intense aromas of ripe black cherry, graphite and blackberry interlace with a lovely violet floral note. The palate is inviting and well-balanced, exuding flavors of blueberries, cassis and boysenberry that are all beautifully interwoven with silky tannins from the French oak barrels. The dark fruit flavors and delicate acidity evolve beautifully in the glass and linger on the palate.

The dark fruit flavors, silky palate and beautiful structure make it a decadent wine for food pairing. This wine’s elegance, acidity and spice notes complement grilled or roasted dishes, such as coq au vin, lamb ragu or roasted salmon with miso. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon’s earthiness even complements vegetarian dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto and ratatouille.

WINE ENTHUSIAST SCORED THIS 93 POINTS SAYING:
“Excellent concentration and a classic flavor profile of black cherries, black olives and toasted oak give good reasons to buy and enjoy this Sonoma County icon. Firmly structured with fine-grained tannis and equally generous in black fruits, the wine is well-balanced and trim in body. Best from 2026–2036.”
