✨ Technical Specifications
Named 'Tre Fanciulli'—meaning 'Three Boys' in Italian—as a heartfelt tribute to founders John and Peggy Bigelow's three sons, this signature red blend from JM Cellars represents a harmonious marriage of power and elegance. Sourced from prestigious, sustainably farmed vineyards across Washington's Columbia Valley, including Stillwater Creek and the estate Margaret's Vineyard, this wine is crafted as a classic proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides a structured, age-worthy backbone of dark fruit and refined tannins, while the Syrah injects a plush, velvety texture and savory complexity. Aged in select French oak barrels, Tre Fanciulli showcases the rich, concentrated fruit profile characteristic of Washington State's sun-drenched days and cool desert nights.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1998 by John and Peggy Bigelow, JM Cellars is a benchmark family-owned artisanal winery centered at Bramble Bump, a wooded sanctuary in Woodinville, Washington. Initially mentored by prominent Washington vintners Mike Januik and Charlie Hoppes, the Bigelows evolved from basement garagistes into leading producers of small-lot, site-expressive Pacific Northwest wines. While production operations are based in Woodinville and Maltby, estate fruit originates from Margaret's Vineyard—a certified sustainable and Salmon-Safe site perched within Walla Walla's acclaimed SeVein development. Complementing their estate plantings, JM Cellars selectively sources from venerated Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, and Red Mountain vineyards, including Boushey, Stillwater Creek, and Quintessence. Winemaking under John and his son Tommy emphasizes precision and texture, utilizing small-batch fermentations in stainless steel, concrete eggs, and French oak barrels. Benchmark cuvées include their signature Tre Fanciulli red blend, Margaret's Vineyard Bordeaux varietals, and vineyard-designated Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay, consistently distinguished by vibrant fruit purity and structured finesse.
