✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Margaret's Vineyard Estate Red is the crown jewel of JM Cellars' estate program, sourced from their sustainably farmed, Salmon-Safe certified vineyard in the southern hills of the Walla Walla Valley. Named in loving memory of founder John Bigelow's mother, Margaret, this vineyard is situated within the prestigious SeVein development, where vines dig deep into wind-blown loess soils over ancient basalt. The Estate Red is crafted as a classic Bordeaux-style blend, capturing the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the valley. This microclimate coaxes out intense fruit concentration balanced by vibrant acidity and structured, dusty tannins. Aged in select French oak barrels, the wine represents a harmonious marriage of traditional Washington power and old-world elegance, carrying a legacy of family heritage and environmental stewardship.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
