Solid & balanced, opens nicely in the glass or a very brief decant. Not much in the way of nuance or complexity but the mild tannins & sub 14% alcohol, make for good everyday drinking.

This was a pleasant surprise. Not overly ripe but a good amount of concentration and a pleasant mouthfeel. Surprised by the 13.8% alcohol as well. Happy for it to be in my glass. A nice wine.

Not usually a Jordan fan but this was better than previous bottles I have had. A bit thin in color but a very spicy nose followed by rich spice and bright fruits. Some strawberry for sure. Though the tannins were mild, it certainly was an upgrade to other vintages.

Decanted for 60 minutes. Dark fruit and spice. Well-balanced with medium tannins and low acid. Good mouthfeel and long finish. Not for those who want a really big Napa cab, but if you enjoy a smooth, balanced cab, this is for you.

Quick 20 minute decant. Aromas of blackberry, currant, lead pencil and black cherry. Flavors of blackberry, currant and black cherry. Ends with a 15 second finish with currant and blackberry notes. Not a super complex wine but easy drinking and has enough structure to hold your interest.
