In the historical tradition of fine wines, Jordan wines are produced and bottled at the winery. They are distributed throughout the United States and in over forty international markets. Combining the artistry of the old world with the technology of the new, Jordan produces Cabernet Sauvignon, blended in the tradition of Bordeaux, and Chardonnay, crafted in the tradition of a white Burgundy.

From the beginning, Jordan Cabernet Sauvignons have been made in such a way that they are round, fragrant and approachable upon release, but have the capacity to age beautifully. The blend generally comprises about 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. This, with the use of both French and American small oak cooperage followed by bottle aging in Jordan's cellars, adds to the wine's consistently elegant style.

Jordan Chardonnays, which are rich and complex, are similar in style to the white Burgundies of Meursault, France. Our sensory evaluation has led us to believe the Russian River Valley is the optimum growing area for Chardonnay. Accordingly, our most recent vintages are increasing the content from this ideal, cooler appellation where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines make exceptional wines. Vineyard blocks are kept separate until after fermentation, when they are evaluated for inclusion in the master blend. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and barrel aging before release.
