Winemaker Notes
The 2013 Jordan Chardonnay is a versatile food pairing wine at the dinner table. Its lively fruit, vivid backbone of acidity and subtle oak nuances make it sing with lobster or creamy pastas, as well as grilled chicken, fish or light citrus salads.

I hope you guys out there in Chardonnay land are thinking about the superb Russian River Valley when you order this varietal, the 2013 Jordan is certainly something to write home about! Medium straw, light yellow color; fresh and lively aromas of tart apple and ripe citrus, some underlying oak hiding way in the background; medium bodied, perky and vibrant on the palate; dry, excellent acidity, well balanced; tart apple, with a streak of minerality cutting though and a hint of cream for balance; long finish, fresh and very alive aftertaste. (Tasted: November 9, 2015, Healdsburg, CA)

Tightly structured and quiet in oak, this wine instead exudes bright notes of lemon peel and orange blossom, offering plenty of well-traced minerality on the palate. It finishes lean and crisp, refreshing enough to enjoy all night long.

Jordan Vineyard & Winery focuses on just three things: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and hospitality. John Jordan’s guiding philosophy is that every vintage, every meal, and every tasting should be better than the last. There is a relentless drive to constantly perfect the craft.
Jordan wines are made in a more European style that allows them to pair well with a broad range of foods. Winemaking decisions emphasize the wine’s fruit and acidity rather than alcohol and tannin, and achieving elegance and balance in the bottle drives all that Jordan does in the vineyards and cellar. More than three-quarters of the 1,200 acres that surround the Jordan Winery Chateau remain wild, open spaces that myriad animals and plants call home. Preserving natural habitat and conserving resources are two tenets in sustainability efforts. The winery runs almost entirely on solar energy, and the vineyards and winery are certified sustainable.
As one of California’s iconic producers of classic Cabernet Sauvignon, John Jordan believes that the success should be used for a greater good beyond the glass. Since 2012, a large portion of the profits from Jordan Winery fund The John Jordan Foundation, which works to fight the negative effects of poverty in communities through education and health services.
