Jordan Winery | Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California | Chardonnay | 2023
Russian River Valley's cool, fog-driven climate is tailor-made for Chardonnay, and Jordan has long been one of its most elegant interpreters. A cool, steady 2023 growing season allowed for extended hang time, producing a wine of exceptional finesse and complexity — bright acidity, layered citrus and stone fruit, and a restrained touch of French oak that enhances without dominating. Versatile enough for the aperitif glass, refined enough for the table.
Oak: Hint of French oak
Drink: Now–2029
Tasting Notes
- White peach, Meyer lemon, lime zest, and delicate floral blossom on the nose
- Zesty lime, orange peel, crisp Bosc pear, and elderflower on the palate
- Focused, textural mouthfeel | Crystal-clean mineral finish | Refreshing acidity
Critical Acclaim
-
94 pts — The Somm Journal (July 2025), Best Aromatic Whites: "Intense up-front flavors with white-peppered lemon drop, sleek and lively. Crisp acidity brightens notes of elderflower, McIntosh apple, and hazelnut. The mineral tone is crystal clean and clear on the finish."
-
93 pts — James Suckling: "Aromas of flint, wet stones, Meyer lemons and lime zest with subtle white flowers. Focused and textural, with loads of minerals and citrus oil in the finish."
Pairings: Raw bar, oysters, grilled salmon, ahi tuna, roasted chicken, creamy pasta, light salads
