Winemaker Notes

Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and cassis mingle with hints of violetand dark chocolate to seduce and intrigue. The palate is inviting andsilky, with a vivid core of cassis that defines every sip, balanced by abackbone of acidity and a smooth tannin structure. This wine's neverending, layered finish makes it enjoyable now or cellarworthy through 2026. Decant prior to serving to further accentuate the aromas and flavors.

Critical Acclaim

W&S92
Wine & Spirits
The Jordan family never followed the herd toward hyperripe cabernet-this 2010 clocks in a cool 13.5 percent alcohol. It feels like a juicy, old-schooler cabernet, its sleek red currant character edged with floral tonesand a savory edge of red pepper skin. The acidity is bright and the tannins gravelly. It should age well, but is already enjoyable. Try it with pot roast.

A masterful effort that shows superb elegance and length; excellent juxtaposition of red currants and dried leaves; very representative of the Alexander Valley; found some boysenberries in the flavors; exuberant aftertaste.

James Suckling
Concentrated nose of cassis, mulberry and dark raspberry with vanilla and clove notes. Medium-bodied, fresh and stylish, with precision and some delicacy.

Wine Enthusiast
In this vintage, the winery stays true to its reputation for making balanced, more restrained Cabernet, offering firm, structured tannins and bright cassis and blackberry around a deft sprinkling of dried herb. Built to age through 2025, it is equally enjoyable now, after a decant. Small percentages of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec factor in.
