Our patience through this cool growing season and long harvest was rewarded with a complex and elegant 2006 Jordan Russian River Valley Chardonnay.
Beginning with plenty of rain, the 2006 growing season brought unusually cool temperatures that extended into mid-October. The slow ripening of the grapes allowed time for proper varietal development, enhanced with vibrant acidity. The fruit was picked in the early morning hours, arriving at the winery crisp, cold and in pristine condition.
The 2006 Chardonnay bouquet offers delicate aromas of Fuji apple, citrus, nutmeg, honey and lightly toasted oak. The wine delivers lively and complex flavors of Asian pear, key lime, and Marcona almond. These refined notes offer a seamless expression of rich, bold flavors with a long, elegant finish. Delicious upon release, this wine will continue to gain honeyed richness through 2015.
