Editorial profile

J Vineyards & Winery is a Healdsburg producer in the Russian River Valley, founded in 1986 by Judy Jordan (owned by E. & J. Gallo since 2015). It is built around traditional-method sparkling wine — hand-harvested at night and pressed in Coquard presses to avoid astringency — spanning Vintage Brut, Vintage Brut Rosé, Blanc de Noirs, Demi-Sec and Late Disgorged bottlings, plus proprietary still-wine tiers (STRATA, Bow Tie, the numbered Edition series) and single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Foggy Bend, Eastside Knoll, Canfield and Annapolis Ridge vineyards. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris round out the still-wine range. Nicole Hitchcock is head winemaker.
