Jordan 2008 Chardonnay Russian River Valley

I traditionally like to share with you not only how much I enjoy a wine, but also where we were when we drank it......!  So here goes......We were down in Boston Saturday night and ate at a great restaurant, Sibling Rivalry – hence brothers who have created a dualing menu, located in the south end.  For those of you from the Boston area or are just visiting and haven’t yet tried this restaurant, you are missing a great dining experience.  Well, that being said, there were eight of us and traditionally we always order a couple bottles of red and whites.  For this review, all my focus is on this wonderful Chardonnay that we drank.  The 2008 Jordan Chardonnay....wow...it was very delicious.    So light and fresh!  A little more on the pricey side, but worth every penny.   I had it with seared tuna and my friend had seared scallops and for both of us..... It did the trick.  Enjoy everyone, and if you get a good price on this bottle, I’d buy a case!  PS, 6 out of the 8 of us ordered from David’s side of the menu! Sorry Bob, maybe next time.  J

Winemakers notes:  The 2008 Jordan Chardonnay is marked by understated elegance. Bright, straw-green colored hue. The clean freshness of the nose opens up with vivid fruit aromas of green apples, pears and peach, and a touch of quince and kiwi. On the palate, similar notes are evident: bright fruits braced by crisp acidity and a lingering minerality. The finish brings the fruit, balance and finesse of this wine full circle
