Aged for 18 months in new and used French oak barrels, the 100% varietal 2016 The Long Fuse Cabernet Sauvignon begins with softer Cabernet notes on the nose blackberries, dusty plum, worn leather and purple flowers dusted with dried herbs. Moving on to the palate, the medium-bodied wine becomes softer and shy, with an elegant expression and a softer structure for a Cabernet. The wine ends with soft tannins on the finish, fading faster than anticipated. 14,000 bottles were filled.

Modeled after a First Growth Bordeaux, Jordan Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has remained one of Sonoma?s best Cabernet Sauvignons for four decades with an unwavering commitment to food-friendly wines of balance and elegance.

Every vintage of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with a focus on striking a perfect balance between beautiful fruit, silky tannins and a lingering finish. It is this delicate balance all done by taste that allows for the gradual, graceful evolution of Jordan's Cabernet Sauvignon in bottle. Renowned for our consistency of quality vintage after vintage, Jordan has remained one of the top Cabernet Sauvignon brands on the best restaurant wine lists for decades.

The diversity of our collection of crus estate vineyard blocks that have more clay-rich soils like the Right Bank of Bordeaux and family grower parcels on mid-slope, well-drained Sonoma County vineyards with mineral-rich, gravelly soils reminiscent of Bordeaux's Left Bank gives our new world Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon a complexity found only in the top first growths of the world.
