Balance, Power, Dimension and FinesseJM Cellars wines are handcrafted for balance, power, dimension and finesse. Our goal is to make interesting wines with varietal intensity, balanced tannins and acids, and complexity. We also make what we like to drink; and we admit to a bias for red blends. We make three: our flagship wine Tre Fanciulli (tray-fan-CHEW-lee), a Columbia Valley Cuvée (CVC) and Bramble Bump Red.
Working with the same vineyards every year to achieve a consistent style, we are sticklers for low yields, ideally 2 tons per acre. Grapes are hand-picked at maximum ripeness and fermented in open-top bins at a high temperature (approximately 92°) for 5 - 10 days. We've found that a quicker fermentation makes for a deeper, richer wine with softer tannins. Wines are aged in barrel 14 - 20 months, predominately French oak. Contact Us
