Welcome to J. Wilkes. I am dedicated to producing only small lots of handcrafted wines that have extraction while maintaining the natural delicacy of the grapes. Over the past two decades, I ’ve developed strong relationships with growers along California’s central coast and Napa Valley. I have searched out the finest vineyards that produce naturally balanced vines that require a minimum of manipulation to achieve vine balance and low yields. By knowing the growers and their vineyard sites, I am able to pick and choose to find not only the best vineyards, but also the best sites within each vineyard. These sites are destined to produce grapes for the wines that bear the J. Wilkes name.
I am always experimenting with new and better ways to create wines of distinction. I love what I do and am proud of the wines I offer. I hope you enjoy them, and welcome your comments.
Cheers,
Jeff Wilkes
