History
Jordan Vineyard & Winery was founded in 1972 by Tom and Sally Jordan, who first purchased land in 1972 with the dream of planting a vineyard. The Jordan chateau, which overlooks 1,400 acres of hills and vineyards with three quarters of the land dedicated to natural habitat, was designed by the architecture firm Backen, Arrigoni & Ross and was completed in 1976 just before the first vintage of Jordan was harvested.
Jordan's winemaker Rob Davis has worked at Jordan his entire career. Davis was hired and mentored by winemaker André Tchelistcheff, who served as consulting enologist for Jordan. Jordan is one of the few wineries that makes only two wines--a Russian River Valley Chardonnay and an Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The house style is considered more French than Californian with balance and elegance with lower alcohol and silky tannins.
Today, the winery is owned and operated by Tom and Sally Jordan's son, John. John Jordan's older sister Judy Jordan owned J Vineyards until 2015.
In September 2013, the 1,200-acre Jordan Estate became open to the public to explore for the first time in its history through an Estate Tour & Tasting experience.
