Winemaker Notes
With an ability to accentuate flavors in a broad range of cuisines, 2011 is perfect for the table. It carries the brightness and acidity to stand up to ceviche and raw oysters, as well as the roundness to complement crab or shrimp. The depth and mid-palate allow it to accompany grilled or roasted chicken, pasta with cream sauce, and white-fleshed fish such as halibut or sole.
Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Fresh and juicy with tangy acidity and bright citrus and white flowers; nervy and seamless with cohesive flavors and lovely texture; long and lifted.

Wine
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.
