something about Cali Cab from the 70's. Like me, they've aged wonderfully, meaning still rather youthful for middle age...ha!

Too much "green bean" notes but nicely balanced.

1979 vintage. Not the biggest Jordan fan but this one hit before the mass California hysteria. Decanted and tasted after 10 mins-2 hours. Plenty of cedar, tannins and otherwise, structural components. Solid showing. May pick up a few of these for the holidaze. In best Darth Vader/James Earl Jones voice..."Impressive." 9.20.23.

Forty years in cellar and still possesses wonderful acidity and fruit character. Beautiful wine.

Going back and forth on favorite between this and the '76. Dusty, dirty and full of those Jordan bell peppers. Less fruit than the '76. An amazing wine. 12.8 abv

Wines of the 70's and 80's at Tria. This is from a couple of years ago, and the wine was past its peak, but still a cool experience.
