Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

 

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)

TASTING NOTES—2006 CALI 351 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes:

When we opened this wine last night with dinner, I knew I had to share this one on the blog! Awarded 92 Points--Wine Enthusiast, this Cab has "classic Napa tannins" and just the right amount of acid to give a nice sharp bite on the tongue while balancing well on the palate.  Tasted great after allowing it to aerate a bit.  It was a sad moment when the last drops of the fruit-forward, musky ripe raspberry and dark cherry-driven flavors left the bottle.  I have a feeling this wine will age well and will taste great in a few years...good thing we purchased more than one bottle!
