Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2020 750ml
Expert Ratings - Vintage 2020
James Sucking 94 Points: A discrete and savory nose of blackcurrants, tobacco leaves, coffee beans and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and notes of dark cherries, olives and beets. A blend of 83% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% malbec. A well-balanced wine that will age gracefully. Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast 92 points: The expressive nose of this wine gives aromas of black currant, plum and tobacco, with just a whisper of capsicum. The palate displays vibrant cranberry, black cherry, cigar and black pepper flavors in a medium-bodied frame.
Winemaker Notes:
Rich notes of ripe black cherry, currant and boysenberry mingle gracefully with delicate notes of cedar. On the palate, a harmonious balance unfolds, showcasing flavors of blueberries, cranberry and clove, all embraced by the smooth tannins imparted by the French oak barrels. Evolving gracefully in the glass, the dark fruit flavors and subtle acidity leave a lasting impression on the palate. Enjoy now after decanting 60 minutes or cellar through 2040.
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 beef bourguignon, duck confit or roasted chicken. The earthiness in this wine will also complement vegetarian dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto and ratatouille.
Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec

The biggest range of site exposure, elevation, soil, and climate of any of our single variety bottlings. "The most complete wine in our portfolio", according to winemaker Tim Colla. It takes an exceptional amount of tinkering and finesse to blend 7 Single-Vineyard ferments into a harmonious bottling. From Jim Pratt's Sebastopol Hills Vineyard, to the Sangiacomo Family's Roberts Road Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap, these vineyards represent decades of relationships and an understanding of the diversity of Sonoma Pinot Noir.
