Location: United States, California
Winemakers: Jaam Moynihan and Bobby Huff
Grapes: Chardonnay
Winemaking: The grapes are grown at Bazzano Vineyard, a site just north of Fulton. It’s a 7.5-acre block of Chardonnay planted in 1996, farmed organically without irrigation on Yolo soils. The vines are clone 4, a Wente selection prized for lush tropical fruit paired with naturally high acidity, giving the wine both ripeness and tension.
Jaam Moynihan and Bobby Huff, whose label takes its name from their two middle names, gently foot-tread the grapes in the bins and intentionally let the juice oxidize. The barrels are then left out in the sun to kick off a native fermentation. From there, the wine ages in a mix of neutral puncheons, neutral French oak barrels, and steel drums.
From the Producers: We are joseph-jibril and we love wine. We believe that the craft of winemaking is inherently personal, so we put our middle names on it (because Bobby Jaam Wines doesn’t have the same ring to it). Our journey started with conversations in a parking lot and became a reality with lots of help and hard work. After years in the cellar making wines for others, we decided to take a leap of faith and start our own project.
Winemaking is an encapsulation of a moment in time. Its energy changes throughout its lifecycle, and perception of it is subjective.
We make crushable wine for all to enjoy. We want our wines to be both fun and serious. . . approachable and interesting, delicious and thought-provoking, all while being clean and sound.
We make minimal intervention wine and focus on providing the necessary conditions for the optimal expression of the vineyard’s fruit. Sometimes the result is opulent, silky, and coating. Other times it is light, floral, and expressive — we never want to stand in the way of that self-actualization.
We recognize the hard work involved in all facets of wine production. It is never just the winemakers–we have support from vineyard workers, cellar interns, truck drivers, growers, friends and family who all work insanely hard to help us encapsulate this ‘moment in time’.
