WINEMAKER'S NOTE
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Jordan's estate vineyards with small quantities of fruit from other prime vineyards. Aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels, this is a rich and deeply textured wine with layers of black cherry, blackberry, cassis and dark chocolate. A subtle framework of oak and vanilla complements slight notes of cedar and sweet leather.
