"Jordan Vineyards only released their first vintage in 1976, so their second year of 1977 shows just how beautifully this winery did right from the outset. I have had the pleasure to drink this wine twice in the last month and it has shown beautifully both times, with its classic Sonoma signature aromatics and flavors allowing for just a whisper of tobacco leaf-like shadings, coupled with truly beautifully pure fruit and great transparency down to its underlying soil tones. The bouquet is deep and complex, offering up a wide open blend of red and black cherries, cigar wrapper, lovely soil tones, a hint of chipotle pepper, smoke and just a whisper of upper register weediness so typical of its place of origin. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a lovely core, fine soil signature, tangy acids and a long, complex and absolutely à point finish. This is a first class 1977 with decades of life still ahead of it."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
