($55): Jordan consistently makes a beautifully graceful Cabernet Sauvignon.  The 2012 is even more so, full-flavored, yet elegant with a suave texture.  Although a mouth-filling wine, it is not heavy.  It impresses with its elegance and complexity, not brute force.  Layers of red and black fruit flavors intermingle with herbal earthy notes.  It displays exceptional complexity and length.  A hallmark of the Jordan’s Cabernets is the enjoyment they provide upon release.  The 2012 fits that mold perfectly.  But don’t be deceived; Jordan’s Cabernets develop beautifully with decades of bottle age, so there’s no rush to drink the 2012.
