A wine that captures the heart of Jordan’s style balance, elegance and full expression of fruit Jordan 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a smooth, silky structure that showcases the delicacy of the vintage.

Notably elegant and refined, this is polished at points, firm on the finish. The core black cherry and blackberry flavors are fresh and lively. Drink now through 2020.

To make Jordan 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon of greatness, the vintner must accept losses in both grapes and wine due to strict quality standards similar to the very best crus in Bordeaux. Two significant frosts in the spring of 2008 affected grapevine growth, lowering grape cluster yields by as much as 20% per vine.

More sacrifices made in the vineyard and the cellar allowed us to overcome a difficult growing season like 2008, to achieve, in the end, a classic vintage marked by elegance, restraint, and Jordan’s hallmark consistency a wine that will wow wine lovers for a decade-plus.

Vineyards: Roughly 60 vineyard blocks from Jordan Estate and a dozen family growers.
Fermentation: Lots kept separate by vineyard; 20 days extended maceration; every lot reevaluated after primary fermentation; malolactic fermentation completed in upright oak casks before assemblage to create our “barrel blend.”
Cooperages: Six French and three American barrel coopers selected based on blind tastings and 2008 vintage flavor profile; primarily medium toast.
Aging: 76% French and 24% American oak barrels for 12 months; 31% new oak consisted of 60% French, 40% American.
Selection: Post malolactic fermentation, individual lots were blind tasted, ranked and underperformers sold to the bulk market. After one year in barrels, an additional 10% of the Cabernet Sauvignon lots were declassified and sold to further elevate the quality of the final master blend.
