WINEMAKER'S NOTE
The 2005 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon spent 22 days in stainless steel tanks for primary fermentation and extended maceration, followed by two weeks in large upright oak tanks for malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for six months in large upright oak tanks and then aged in 64% French and 36% American oak barrels for 12 months. Prior to release, the wine was bottled and held for another 20 months. 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot; 13.5% alcohol.
Expert Reviews

DescriptionEnjoy flavors of red currant, cherry, blackberry and blueberry with a hint of vanilla from oak aging. Round tannins balance and support this medium-bodied wine’s ripe fruit. Beautiful now, this wine will continue to age gracefully for a decade or more. The 750mL should peak by 2018.
