Crafted by JM Cellars, 'Nietos'—meaning 'grandchildren' in Spanish—is a deeply personal red blend created by founders John and Peggy Bigelow to celebrate the legacy of their family. Sourced from the estate's sustainably-farmed and Salmon-Safe certified Margaret's Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the region, characterized by fractured basalt soils and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. The wine is carefully aged in French oak barrels to develop a sophisticated structure, seamlessly blending rich dark fruit profiles with refined tannins and the signature vibrant acidity of Washington State's premier vineyards.
