JORDAN Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

VM: 89

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon shows some marks from the late-season heat that set in around Labor Day 2019. That actually benefits the wine in the sense that it bestowed a rounder, more intense fruit character that offsets some of the green and herbal elements that point to less-than-ideal ripening. Tart, chalky acids leave the mouth watering on the finish. It’s a very “Jordan” wine, which is to say, old-school all the way.
