Best ever for Suckling at 94 points:
A discrete and savory nose of blackcurrants, tobacco leaves, coffee beans and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and notes of dark cherries, olives and beets. A blend of 83% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% malbec. A well-balanced wine that will age gracefully. Drink or hold.
Best since 2007 for Jancis Robinson:
Smells of dark-cherry fruit, sweet oak and blackcurrant. Black-cherry and blackcurrant flavours mix with a touch of cola as muscular tannins grip the palate and squeeze with increasing strength. Excellent acidity keeps things fresh, leaving a fresh herbal note in the finish along with liquorice root and scents of oak. Young still, but with staying power.
And the Wine Review Online:
Jordan, an iconic Sonoma producer, continues its track record of producing polished Cabernet Sauvignons. Their 2020 combines an alluring ripe mixture of plumy and savory notes, all atop a plush base. As usual, Jordan has created a wine with depth and power, while avoiding the temptation to go overboard. No monster Cab here. Don’t be fooled by the approachability of Jordan’s 2020 Cabernet. My experience with their Cabernets is that they develop beautifully with decades of bottle age, which creates a dilemma—drink now or cellar it? The solution: Buy enough for both.
Jordan fans are going to love this one.
