Ehren Jordan was not the only winemaker who told me that sugar conversions were unusually powerful in 2012. He tended to pick in the very moderate 12.8% potential alcohol range but most of his wines ended up between 13.6% and 14.1% alcohol. Jordan's winery, which is located on the Silverado Trail between St. Helena and Calistoga, is a great place to compare a range of (mostly Sonoma) vineyards, as he uses a modest percentage of new oak (anywhere from 10% for his Sonoma Coast chardonnay to 33% for some of his single-vineyard wines) and differences of terroir come through clearly. He also makes extensive use of concrete eggs and 500-liter puncheons.

After many years juggling duties at both Turley and Failla, Ehren Jordan is now focused solely on his estate, but he still makes a dizzying array of wines. These Chardonnays and Pinots are essays into many of the truly great terroirs of Napa Valley, Sonoma and Mendocino. Personally I tend to gravitate towards the Sonoma Coast wines in this range, but there are plenty of fabulous wines from which to choose here. All of the 2012s were in bottle at the time of my tastings, in January 2014.
