Let's start with their Chardonnay. Jordan Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced wine that showcases the best qualities of this varietal. It is not overly oaked or buttery, but rather it has a crisp acidity and a lovely fruit-forward profile. The grapes for this wine are sourced from both the Russian River Valley and the Alexander Valley, which allows for a complex flavor profile with notes of citrus, tropical fruits, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which adds a subtle layer of complexity without overpowering the fruit.
Moving on to their Cabernet Sauvignon, Jordan produces a wine that is both elegant and powerful. The grapes for this wine come exclusively from their estate vineyards in the Alexander Valley. This region is known for producing Cabernet Sauvignons with great structure and intensity, and Jordan's version is no exception. The wine has rich dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and black cherry, along with hints of cedar, tobacco, and baking spices. It has a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins, making it a pleasure to drink even when it's young. With proper aging, this wine develops even more complexity and can be enjoyed for years to come.
