1977 Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

"The original tasting notes claimed that the aroma and bouquet of the 1977 was a classic “drought” wine displaying concentrated, ripe cherry-like fruit. Today, with a brick-red core at the center of the glass fading to a pale caramel hue as it approaches the rim, this wine has since traded its primary fruit character for tertiary complexity. The nose is rich with dried cherry and prune, and is supported by sweet tobacco, tea-leaf and toffee. The palate retains both a lively acidity and sturdy tannins with a delicate but surprisingly full body structure. The wine has certainly matured, yet remains completely balanced from the entry through the finish. It is soft with a perceived sweetness and carries itself in an elegant feminine manner." - Winemaker Tasting Notes
