Jordan Vineyard and Winery, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2014

($32): With California Chardonnays and white Burgundies commanding high prices, it’s a delight to find an excellent one at a reasonable price.  Jordan makes two wines, a Cabernet Sauvignon and this Chardonnay.  Both are consistently excellent.  In a word — Okay, two words — Jordan’s 2014 Chardonnay is bright and rich.  Citrus elements in the exceptionally long finish, which balance the richness, are refreshing and palate cleansing.  Jordan does a brilliant job at making a restrained Chardonnay that’s paradoxically, full of flavor.
