Wine Enthusiast 93 points Critics have scored this wine 91 points. 2016 Is an incredible year for Cabernet Sauvignon. Right off the vine, the fruit aromas were so bright, beautiful, and rich, and the delicious fruit flavors were maintained all the way to the bottle. Showing an elegant structure, this historic wine is well integrated in terms of tannin and soft, supportive oak. Dried herb and clove mark the midpalate, adding seasoning and complex character to the current core. Aromas of black cherries wrapped in a spice box of nutmeg, clove, and allspice jump from the glass. The palate is filled with flavors of black currants and plum that lead seamlessly to silky tannins and black cherry notes. Blackberry, Mission fig, and black cherry notes linger on the finish. The combination of elegance and intensity make it a fitting vintage to celebrate 40 years of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy now after decanting for 30 minutes or cellar through 2035. This is a wine that tastes great now, but also has the structure to make it a phenomenal library vintage.
