Despite suggestions that this wine should consumed by 2017, six years later it remains a beautiful wine! We purchased one of the last bottles from the winery Library so it was stored correctly. The color remains vibrant, Grenache berry fruit flavors are front and center, tannins are softened by 16 years of aging and yet there was sufficient structure remaining to couple with a grilled steak with truffles. IMO Jordan makes some of the very best wines not only Paso Robles but in all of California. Don’t be afraid to cellar her works of art.

After a poor Cab showing last night, this wine really made up for that disappointment. Beautiful black cherry and touch of earth in the nose. Suave mouthfeel. Big, but not too big. Long long finish with really good acidity showing up at the end. This can age much longer, but it's impressive now and not too early to open it. Delicious!

We drank this bottle last night at a favorite local restaurant. It went pretty well with a number of dishes but is a pretty intense wine. We bought this almost 5 years ago in the tasting room at which time my palate may have gravitated to a riper style. Nonetheless it is a tasty bottle that was drinking well and was fun. I would not hold it any longer though.

Seems to be peaking. Not as good as the last bottle. Plan to drink over the next 1-2 years.

Not at all past its prime, enjoyably complex and refined.
