The wine’s silky palate is long and expansive, boasting a beautiful balance of black fruit and fine tannin structure. Its finish is lively, lingering and laced with a sweetness of fruit. A deliciously seductive wine to be enjoyed now or cellared through 2028. Decant for 60 to 90 minutes to elevate aromas and flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2012 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon's luscious fruit, round structure and lower alcohol make it a versatile companion at the dinner table. This wine's French oak aging helps complement grilled fare, such as lamb, steak, pork or chicken, and its dark fruit flavors will stand up to richer dishes, such as veal tenderloin with a wine sauce, mushroom risotto or duck confit. Its medium body highlights lighter dishes as well—think spiced ahi tuna, grilled steak salad and charcuterie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot; 2% Malbec\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eW\u0026amp;S91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Wine \u0026amp; Spirits\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “Welcoming cabernet” might seem like an oxymoron, but Jordan has always aimed for a style that’s drinkable on release. Mostly hillside and benchland cabernet, supported by petit verdot and merlot and aged a full 24 months in bottle before release, this emphasizes effusive red fruit and a sweet, leafy tobacco aroma. You could drink it now with steak tartare, or put it away for another seven or eight years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e WE91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a complex, layered and elegantly conceived wine. It's enjoyable now in its juicy waves of red currant and cassis, with a background hint of brown sugar and toasted oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWW90\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Wilfred Wong of Wine.com\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In the wine world, tasters can be fooled when too many wines are placed in front of them—blind tastings, competitions, trade tastings. In these tasting situations, the biggest and ripest wines often win the accolades; elegance often takes a back seat. The 2012 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is refined and stylish. Built on red currants and dried herbs, this wine is designed for the dinner table and not for tasting arenas. Pair with lightly grilled lamb chops and you will see for yourself that elegance works well with meals. Tasting nicely now.
