The 2018 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley is a classic example of balanced, elegant California Cabernet. With a core of rich black cherry and blackberry flavors, it’s layered with notes of vanilla, tobacco, and subtle spice from French oak aging. Smooth tannins and a long, polished finish make it great to enjoy now with some decanting or cellar for several more years. True to Jordan’s style, it’s a refined wine that pairs beautifully with food and showcases the best of Sonoma terroir.

Due for release in 2022, this is winemaker Rob Davis’s curtain call after 43 years at Jordan. And what a vintage to go out on – one of the finest in northern California in the past 30 years. Leading with 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in one-third new French oak, it shows cinnamon-dusted cherry and blackberry, redcurrants, tobacco leaf find elegant cedar flourishes. The palate teems with energy and drive, where tight-knit, fine-grained tannins support a deeply juicy core of concentrated black fruit underscored by crushed-stone minerality, through the long, savoury, spiced finish. Bravo!
