Jordan Alexander Cabernet 2019 Rated 94DM

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 94
Wonderful aromatic intensity with notes of cassis, cacao and anise that jump out of the glass upon the first sniff. Some rosemary and thyme also show up at the end. With a silky, juice-like texture, black and red fruits explode on the palate upon first sip and softened by Earl Grey tea on the finish.

Wine Tasting Notes
Jordan Alexander Cabernet presents a captivating bouquet of rich black cherry, graphite, and blackberry, complemented by a delightful hint of violet. Its palate is harmoniously balanced, showcasing delectable notes of blueberries, cassis, and boysenberry, seamlessly intertwined with the smooth tannins derived from French oak barrels. The luscious dark fruit flavors and subtle acidity gracefully develop as you savor each sip, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. For optimal enjoyment, decant for 30 minutes before indulging or cellar it until 2039.

Pairing Suggestions
The decadent nature of this wine, with its dark fruit flavors, silky palate, and exquisite structure, makes it a perfect companion for food pairing. Its elegance, acidity, and subtle spice notes beautifully complement grilled or roasted dishes, such as coq au vin, lamb ragu, or roasted salmon with miso. Surprisingly, the earthiness of the Jordan Alexander Cabernet Sauvignon even harmonizes well with vegetarian dishes, including roasted vegetables, mushroom risotto, and ratatouille.
