Wine Review: This opaque and dark purple colored Cabernet from Jordan opens with mild black currant bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, it is medium bodied, balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty plum and mild black raspberry blend with hints of green and black pepper. The finish is dry and its medium tannins are slightly prolonged. The panel suggested that this Cab would appeal to Pinot fans and readers who like lighter red wines. They suggested pairing this food friendly gentle Cab with veal marsala or tangy pulled pork sliders. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A seamless wine, the 2007 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon exudes beautiful, dense, blackberry aromas that echo through the mid-palate. The mouthfeel is silky-smooth with soft, round tannins accented by a vanilla quality from aging one year in primarily French oak barrels. Enjoyable now or worthy of cellaring through 2020.
