($56):  I admire Jordan because they have never veered from their style of making refined and polished Cabernet Sauvignon.  They’ve avoided the “bigger is better” trap, and have remained focused on elegance and refinement.  Take this 2014 Cabernet.  From the moment you smell it, you know you’re in for a treat.  Packed with flavor and long, it’s not heavy or ponderous.  It doesn’t bowl you over with power — it wows you with endless flavor and subtlety.  It’s an exciting wine to drink because each sip delivers something new.  Fine tannins impart an alluring texture that makes it fine to drink now.  But, as enjoyable as Jordan’s Cabernets are to drink young, they develop even more complexity with a decade or more of bottle age.  Although $56 is not cheap for a bottle of wine, it’s a bargain for what you get.
