Jordan Alexander Cabernet 2020 Rated 94DM

James Suckling Review
Rated 94
A discrete and savory nose of blackcurrants, tobacco leaves, coffee beans and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and notes of dark cherries, olives and beets. A blend of 83% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% malbec. A well-balanced wine that will age gracefully. Drink or hold.

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, enjoy now after decanting 60 minutes or cellar through 2040.

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.
