Location: United States, California
Grapes: Pinot Noir
Winemaking: Harvested late in the evening on August 28th. All fruit was foot-trodden to enhance color and phenolic extraction, with 4 hours of skin contact before pressing. Native fermentations took place in stainless steel drums and neutral French oak barrels. After primary fermentation, barrels were topped and moved to cold storage to halt full malolactic fermentation.
The Pinot Noir comes from our small block at Barnwell Vineyard, a certified California sustainable vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Grower Joey Barnwell, aside from being one of Bobby’s childhood friends, is a second generation farmer whose family has lived on and farmed this land since the 1970’s. Only organic sprays used while farming.
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’.
