While full bodied and plush, this vineyard-designate, named for original owner Judy Jordan’s daughter, brightens the palate with cranberry and rhubarb. It shows high acidity and a leanness of texture that makes the wine seem lighter than it is, a nice mix of power and grace with a lingering hit of spice on the finish.
