The Fall 2025 Cellar Club Selection:
The selections for our late summer/early fall 2025 wine club are among some of the best wines we have ever been able to offer. Age gives us opportunity. Grapevines mature creating a complexity and intrigue in the fruit that we treasure in the wine. The owner’s selection listed below provides a wonderful sampling of our estate wines for you to enjoy. The optional four wines provide an even deeper dive into unique and smaller lot wines. Mix and match as you wish, we are here to serve you.
2024 Rosa Dia - A wine produced from 100% Grenache. A classic Provencal Rosé. While often identified with the heat of with summer, we serve Rosa Dia with our holiday roast turkey with its low alcohol, teasing fruit, and perfect acid as the perfect accompaniment. Or, just sip and relax anytime of the year. You can’t lose.
2023 Steel-Fermented Chardonnay – New release. A new release from our wine family. Smooth and easy drinking with a great and hearty balance of acid and fruit. One of our most requested wines; it graces table and armchair with equal pleasure.
2024 Tryst & Twyne - New release – It is said patience is its own reward. A cliché worth saying. After 7 years of waiting, in 2023 we presented our first vintage of this wine in a small bottling. The reception exceeded our expectations. Courbu Blanc, Gros Manseng, and Petit Manseng entwine to bring incredible depth to this blend. We are the only winery in the United States producing this unique blend.
2022 Tempranillo - A JvD cult classic. While this grape is Spanish in name, it is also grown in France. We oak age lightly to create this amazing balance of fruit, tannin, and color. Easy sipping and pairing; often compared to Gamay Beaujolais or Pinot Noir, we think it unique to JvD. Typically sells out before we release the next vintage.
2020 Cabernet Franc - Vintage after vintage, never disappointing. Smooth cherry, berry fruit, and even a hint of violets, one never tires of this wine. It is served in some of the finest restaurants in North Carolina. We are currently preparing ground for a new planting to tweak our clonal diversity, stay tuned, it will take 5 or 6 years to see the results….
2019 Merlot – With little debate, 2019 was one of the most ideal seasons in our short 13 years of harvests. Every wine from that year was, in short, incredible. Merlot is no exception. Typical of JvD wines, our fruit structure allows extended aging, 40 months in French oak. This wine is so exceptional, we held back 4 barrels to age even further for a future, deeper, and more intriguing Reserve Merlot.Optional Selections
2021 Barrel Chardonnay - Produced only in odd-numbered years and in small lots, we cellar this wine two to three years before release to develop the smoothness and light oak influence of an extremely food friendly Chardonnay. Limit 1.
2023 Petit Manseng – New release. A signature wine of JvD and celebrated nationwide with numerous awards. Incredible depth in aroma and taste. Our vines continue giving us fruit with celebrated intensity that a famous chef remarked upon tasting, “the perfect red wine drinkers white wine!”. We agree.
2019 Malbec – A small, treasured planting at JvD. A 2019 vintage bottling with perfect aging that can lay down for several more years (look soon for a special Malbec library tasting of Reserves). Deep dark ruby, smooth with velvet layers of tannin, and dense fruit swirls define this wine. Sip slowly or let it complement roast duck, venison, or brisket.
2019 Steel & Stone – Barrel and bottle aged, this blend of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon with a just a splash of Merlot does not disappoint. This wine was introduced in late spring, then tucked away for a few months. Find a fireplace, a good book, and an old vinyl – your place is set.
We thank you for your support and being a part of our JVD wine family.
