About this Item

2021 Sophia
36 (6 x 6) 750ml

“Being able to decide that moment and time when you are going to take that historical vintage and bring the grapes into the cellar, I think, is one of the most important decisions winemakers make.” - Gary Jordan

54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc

• This is the 21st vintage of the Jordan CWG Sophia.
• Named 'Sophia' after the legendary mother of Faith, Hope and Charity and having the classic texture and structure of a benchmark Bordeaux-style blend.
• The Sophia has additional secondary international investment potential, with previous vintages being re-auctioned by Bonhams in the UK.

Tasting Notes: Complex, dark chocolate, black cherry and cassis intertwine rich blackberry fruit, hints of vanilla and spice from the integrated French oak. Densely layered ripe tannins add to the opulent fruit.

Well-structured, this wine will reward careful cellaring for many years to come.
