Joseph-Jibril Wines

03/08/2024

We just released our 3rd vintage of Joseph-Jibril Wines! 2023 was incredibly good to us: we doubled production (again!), worked our first big festival Outside Lands Music Festival, had 1 sentence written about us in Forbes, and made our best wines yet! Bobby and I hauled our own fruit, stomped our own grapes, monitored each and every ferment, and tasted together nearly every day.

In this, our 3rd year in business together and our 6th year making wines together, we learned so much about ourselves. We solidified the type of vineyards we want to source fruit from: practicing, converting, or certified organic. We stayed true to our winemaking ethos: native ferments, minimal intervention, maximum care and attention. Most importantly, we had a ton of fun making these wines, and can't wait to share them with you all!

Head on over to www.josephjibrilwines.com/wines to grab the some of the new goodness while we're running our shipping promotion--for the month of March, we're subsidizing shipping to $35 per 6 pack and $25 per 12 pack. (Those are the easiest quantities for packing, and also give you a shot to try all the wines in our lineup: win-win!)

I'd be remiss not to thank all the people that have helped us thus far, and continue to help us as we learn and grow. To our growers, interns that helped us set up and break down the winery every day, to our peers who lent us equipment or an ear, to our mentors who keep encouraging us to trust ourselves, and to our partners who put up with our disappearing for 3 months out of the year: thank you all so much.

Cheers!

We're very excited to announce our second wine release!

This past year has been an amazing year for us at Joseph-Jibril. We released our inaugural vintage, started distribution in California, Massachusetts, and Arizona; doubled production, and learned something new almost every day.

We are thrilled to officially introduce to you our 2022 vintage wines. We produced another lovely Rosé of Pinot noir from Barnwell Vineyard. Our Carbonic Pinot Noir has evolved into a Carbonic Red Wine blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Cabernet Franc. We are also introducing two new wines, a Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley and a Cabernet Franc from the North Coast.

For the first week of release, we’re offering flat rate ground shipping in appreciation of your support. Six bottles ship for $35 and twelve bottles ship for $25.

Here’s a bit of our story, written by Meg Houston Maker for her site, Terroir Review. We talked ethos and about our small village, including Jolie-Laide Wines and so many more. Thank you all so much and here’s to the future!

Bobby Huff and Jaam Moynihan of Joseph-Jibril relied on expertise and vision to launch their new niche winery (plus a little help from their friends).

We are joseph-jibril and we love wine. We believe that the craft of winemaking is inherently personal, so we put our middle names on it (because Bobby Jaam Wines doesn’t have the same ring to it). Our journey started with conversations in a parking lot and became a reality with lots of help and hard work. After years in the cellar making wines for others, we decided to take a leap of faith and start our own project.

Winemaking is an encapsulation of a moment in time. Its energy changes throughout its lifecycle, and perception of it is subjective.

We make crushable wine for all to enjoy. We want our wines to be both fun and serious. . . approachable and interesting, delicious and thought-provoking, all while being clean and sound.

We make minimal intervention wine and focus on providing the necessary conditions for the optimal expression of the vineyard’s fruit. Sometimes the result is opulent, silky, and coating. Other times it is light, floral, and expressive — we never want to stand in the way of that self-actualization.

We want to recognize the hard work involved in all facets of wine production. It is never just the winemakers–we have support from vineyard workers, cellar interns, truck drivers, growers, friends and family who all work insanely hard to help us encapsulate this ‘moment in time’.

We hope you enjoy our wine — pour that first glass extra tall in honor of all those who made it possible.
