Spring

Spring Starts With J

Spring arrives with bright flavors, longer days, and a renewed sense of discovery. Our newest releases reflect that energy with expressive character, vibrant freshness, and the easy elegance of the Russian River Valley. From radiant Brut Rosé to lively Chardonnay and supple Pinot Noir, these wines bring spring’s spirit to your table.
For a lively al fresco moment, we’re also featuring a Citrus Shrimp Salad from the Art of Food & Wine series — a bright, herbkissed pairing that beautifully highlights the Brut Rosé’s delicate fruit and minerality.

2021 Vintage Brut Rosé

Refreshing aromas of spring rose petals, bright berries, and roasted hazelnut lead into vibrant notes of raspberry, mandarin, pomegranate, and persimmon. Lively bubbles carry a mineral edge that mirrors the season’s crisp energy.

Pairings: Cornbread waffles with candiedginger whipped ricotta and fresh raspberries; beet & citrus salad with shaved fennel, chèvre, and toasted sesame seeds; or a fresh mozzarella, nectarine, basil, and heirloom tomato panzanella.

2024 Strata Chardonnay

Fragrant citrus and honeysuckle open the palate, followed by refreshing notes of crisp green apple, Asian pear, citrus zest, apricot, and melon. A silky finish brings balance and lift.

Pairings: Warm baguette with farmer’s cheese, apricot, basil, and honey; coconut shrimp with sweet chili glaze; or roasted pork chop with caramelized onion and peaches.

2023 Strata Pinot Noir

Aromas of raspberry and cherry introduce ripe flavors of baked dark cherry, blackberry, forest floor, and anise. Layers of cocoa and clove add depth to the polished finish.

Pairings: Sheep’s milk cheese with cherry–caramelized onion jam; duck agnolotti in parmesan broth; or Moroccanspiced braised lamb with dried apricot and herb couscous.

Our Winemakers’ Favorites

 

I particularly love the Canfield Pinot Noir.
It’s so unique within the J portfolio. The savory,
earth-driven, spicy notes make me want to
cozy up with my cat, a good book,
and a glass.
— Nicole Hitchcock (Estate Director)

2022 Canfield Vineyard Pinot Noir

2022 canfield vineyard pinot noir

My favorite wine for spring is our Brut Rosé;
its vibrant bubbles and delicate berry notes
capture the essence of the season’s freshness,
making every sip a celebration of renewal
and joy.
— Laura Fontaine (Senior Winemaker)

J Vineyards Brut Rose

Brut ROsé

Blanc de Noirs is one of my favorite wines — it beautifully
embodies a paradox. It’s made from dark-skinned grapes,
yet the result is a light-colored, elegant wine. Its layers of
complexity, vibrant berry flavors, and subtle earthy notes
showcase the versatility of winemaking.
— Becca Del Solar (Associate Winemaker)

&
#25 on James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of the USA 2025
“Creamy, velvety, full flavored and suave. Vibrant lemon curd and lime zest, with creme brulee, toast and brioche on the palate. Delicious, well integrated and gorgeous. J’s late-disgorged bottling is the same as the vintage brut that has remained longer on the yeast lees before finishing. Drink now or hold.”
