2013 RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

CHARDONNAY
WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
Classic Russian River fruit at its best. Intense aromas of green apples,
pears and passion fruit, backed by a hint of wet stone minerality.
The mid-palate is juicy and seamless, with flavors of melon, guava,
and a touch of baking spice, balanced by lively acidity and a creamy
mouthfeel that carries through the lingering finish.
THE VINTAGE
Mother Nature blessed us with an ideal growing season for the
second consecutive year in 2013. Moderate temperatures prevailed
from spring through fall, which is the key to our Burgundy-inspired
style. The end result being an exemplary vintage-possibly our
finest bottling to date.

THE WINEMAKING
From September 6 to 18, grapes were handpicked in the coolness
of the night to retain their aromatics and purity of flavor. After surlie aging and bâtonnage to further elevate its creamy texture, this
wine underwent only 18% malolactic fermentation to preserve its
bright acidity and natural fruit intensity. Aged for six months in
lightly toasted, 100% French oak barrels, of which 40% was new,
before bottling.
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
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.
