"With a multi-decade track record, this Sonoma producer has long made excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, demonstrating that the county can produce world-class examples of a grape often associated primarily with Napa." - Brian Freedman
"Jordan Winery & Vineyard is known for its fine wines." - J'nai Gaither
"This Alexander Valley chateau uses its one-acre chef’s garden and local purveyors to offer wine and food experiences, like the Estate Tour & Tasting ($135, available Thursday to Monday at 9:45 a.m., June to October), a three-hour adventure via sprinter van that traverses all over Jordan’s massive Healdsburg estate, stopping to sip, munch, and learn at vineyards, vistas, lakes, an olive oil grove, and a mini farm. One of Jordan’s newer offerings, Paris on the Terrace ($110, available Thursday to Sunday at 12 p.m.) transports guests to France with bistro tables, music, chateau views, and an alfresco wine lunch that yes, does include real Champagne." - Jess Lander
"Led by head winemaker Maggie Kruse, who has been with the company since 2006, the Alexander Valley cabernet sauvignon is a classic California cab often found in steakhouses; the estate runs on about 75% solar power, preserves natural wild habitat across three-quarters of its land, and even funded local restaurants during the pandemic to help keep staff employed. Tasting-wise, I was struck by the supersoft tannins and subtle notes of vanilla." - James Oliver Cury
