Judy Jordan was one of the first winemakers to see the potential to produce cool climate wines from the Russian River Valley. Founded in 1986 J Vineyards & Winery quickly established a reputation for high-quality wines and is still one of few Californian wineries to produce both still and sparkling wines. J Vineyards produces food-friendly wines, with their signature fresh acidity and bright fruit making them a versatile partner to many dishes.

The nose contains savoury flavours of leather, violets, and cherry cola, while the palate delivers complex forest fruit notes of blueberry, raspberry, and dark cherry, coupled with mushroom and allspice. The finish is long and memorable.
