There's nothing better than sharing a beautiful wine with beautiful people. This time I had the opportunity to share this wine with my mom last weekend. It was a special treat to try this Alexander Valley Cab from Jordan over a yummy dinner downtown with her. (Thanks again, mom!) :)
Brooke's Tasting Notes:
This '07 Jordan Cab is pretty full-bodied, well-balanced and velvety smooth. Hints of plum and oak aromas exude from the glass, with a long lingering yet dry finish on the tongue. The tannins are soft, allowing this wine to be a refined, well balanced, and overall excellent wine.
My rating: very good (92)

ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the review. i just looked up Petit Verdot:
ReplyDeletea dark grape with heavy tannis that has been used by winemakers ion Bordeaux to 'spice' up a blend, giving it dense fruit and dark color...good call, Jordan.
