Winemaker Rob Davis discusses the 2010 Jordan Russian River Valley Chardonnay released May 1, 2012. View the tasting note at http://www.jordanwinery.com/wines/chardonnay/vintages/2010.
Cool temperatures and foggy mornings lingered throughout the summer of 2010, enhancing the intensity of fruit character in our Chardonnay grapes at lower sugar levels with higher acids. 2010 Jordan Chardonnay is a delicate wine filled with subtle fruit and oak nuances to seduce the palate. Aromas of fresh green and Fuji apples lead seamlessly to an elegant palate framed by lively acidity and a hint of oak from aging in French oak barrels. Apple crispness lingers in the long, graceful finish. Drink now through 2016.
