Distillery Information

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most full-bodied reds produced in California. Compared to Pinot Noir, this wine is denser in color and flavor and has grippier tannins. Its full body makes Cabernet Sauvignon a great wine to pair with rich foods and flavorful sauces.
Cabernet sauvignon is a full-bodied red wine. It tops the list of robust red varietals, carrying some of the lushest, thickest sips that will coat most of the mouth and linger. Many describe cabernet sauvignon's body as unctuous, gravelly, rich and deep. The region the grapes grow in will also impact the wine's body.As a wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its dark color, full body and an alcohol content that is over 13.5%, with most Cabernet Sauvignons, especially those from places such as California, Australia and Chile, being more like 14.5% and sometimes even going over 15%.
Ingredients. Organic grapes (certified organic by WSDA), sulfites (31ppm), yeast, yeast nutrients. Visit our ingredients page to learn more about the naturally-derived ingredients in our Cabernet Sauvignon, and why we choose to use them.
For example, a bottle of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon will rest comfortably and age beautifully for a minimum of 7-10 years and continue to bring pleasure to wine collectors even after 20 years of aging in bottle. Many Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs might enjoy peak drinkability sooner at about 3-5 years.
