2002 Alexander Valley - Cabernet Sauvignon

This was an eye opener. I seldom go for such gusto but it was one of those days where I wanted my palate to dance the tango. I wasn't looking for anything low key to play second fiddle to my meal. I wanted a bold, passionate partner that would take charge and Jordan did certainly that.
The Chef's Tasting Menu at Payard finished off with a course of braised veal cheeks, duo of beef and later some roasted squab. This Cab married beautifully to each course.
I definitely recommend a Jordan - Alexander Valley CS to pair with your next winter meal. It was great!
