From Sparkling Royalty, a Still Pinot Gris
J Vineyards & Winery was founded in 1986 by Judy Jordan and built its reputation on Russian River Valley sparkling wine; its estate vineyards around Healdsburg include Cooper Vineyard, planted in 1989 exclusively to Pinot Gris beside the visitor centre, which the winery credits with vibrant tropical and citrus fruit. The house's still Pinot Gris carries that cool-climate Sonoma discipline into a white made for the table. It sits in our white wine collection alongside the rest of the J Vineyards & Winery range.
Tasting Notes
For the California bottling, the producer describes bright, generous fruit and a crisp finish — white peach, golden kiwi, and nectarine. (The separate Russian River Valley bottling reads more apricot and tropical fruit with citrus and orange-blossom honey; see the applier flag about confirming which bottle this listing holds.)
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled at 8–10°C. It pairs naturally with sushi and crudo, grilled shrimp, salads with citrus vinaigrette, Vietnamese and Thai dishes, and fresh goat cheese. For more food-friendly whites, browse our wine collection.
