We at Jus Soli like roots. Roots music. The book and miniseries. The root language. Even root vegetables. But most of all we draw inspiration from our shared Sonoma County roots. Jus Soli – wines and people with a distinct sense of place.Jus Soli Philosophy

We believe that the concept of terroir applies to people in addition to wine and, relatedly, we think of our wines as an expression of home. We believe in maximizing value while minimizing environmental impact. We like Galileo’s quote that “wine is a compound of light and humor”. We don’t take kindly to wine culture snootiness but oddly enough, usually agree with beer snobbery. We don’t yet own our facility or vineyards or have a tasting room. We realize that makes us pretty hard to find so many thanks for helping us spread the word. And lastly, while we acknowledge that the Latin name thing is a bit obscure, who out there wants to argue with toasting a glass of wine In 2003, we added Zinfandel to our portfolio and in 2004, Syrah. We made a Rhone-ish blend called Roots Red in 2006 and our first white, Sauvignon Blanc, in 2007. Also in 2007, we expanded to 2 different Syrahs and in 2008, 3 different Zinfandels. We'll be getting back into Pinot again shortly after moving on from our original grape source. We've only entered a couple competitions thus far and have medaled with every wine entered including Best of Class, Double Gold and many Golds.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
