The 2017 vintage was certainly a reminder that quality winemaking requires sacrifice. Almost a third less Jordan Chardonnay was bottled from the 2017 vintage to retain our standards of quality and flavor. Diligence was needed in the cellar to uplift the fruit and soften the edges due to the hot weather. I’m very proud of how our team tackled the challenges Mother Nature handed us to make a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.” —Rob Davis, winemaker
