J. Moss Wines

Sometimes dreams come true…

Our dream was to create high quality, hand crafted, small lots of cabernet sauvignon from top Napa Valley appellations. In vintage 2000, we made our first barrels from merlot grown on the Carneros property where we lived. We knew we were on to something special! For several more years, while working a full time job in the wine industry, James spent evenings and weekends learning the intricacies of winemaking. James was fortunate to have the opportunity to work alongside two phenomenal winemakers in the Valley; Mark Jessup, former winemaker from Jessup Cellars, Robert Mondavi and Opus One and now winemaker at J. Gregory Wines, and subsequently with Gustavo Brambila, former winemaker for Chateau Montelena, Grgich Hills and now part owner/winemaker of Gustavo Wines.
