Introducing Empire: A New Ultra-Luxury Chapter for Jada Winery

A 25-Year Journey Culminates in Our Highest Expression

For more than 25 years, Jada has been dedicated to crafting small-lot, organically farmed estate wines. Every harvest decision, every barrel selection, and every lesson learned over the past two and a half decades has quietly built toward this milestone.

Today, we are proud to share a first look at Empire—a new luxury wine line that represents the highest expression of Jada’s estate, vision, and ambition.

Empire draws inspiration from New York City—Jada’s hometown and a city defined by aspiration, resilience, and opportunity—as well as the enduring Art Deco grandeur of the Empire State Building. It is a tribute to generations of immigrant families who arrived with a dream and helped shape something timeless.

Beginning in late Spring 2026, Empire will be introduced first to our Wine Club members and guests of the Grove VIP Tasting experience. The inaugural releases include three new estate wines:

2023 Empire Syrah
2023 Empire Cabernet Sauvignon
2023 Empire Grand Vin — our flagship Bordeaux-inspired blend

Every element of Empire, from the wines themselves to the architectural precision of the label design, reflects a bold evolution for Jada. The aesthetic is confident, structured, and enduring—echoing the values of ambition, craftsmanship, and permanence that define the Empire name.

Crafted by Jada winemaker Nate Hall and developed through a close collaboration between Steve Riboli and Joshua Messina—one of Jada’s founders—these wines represent the pinnacle—so far—of what we have achieved in estate farming and winemaking. Produced only in exceptional vintages, they are offered with humility and intention, worthy of the name they bear.

Empire is more than a new collection of wines. It is a legacy moment for the Riboli family and a clear declaration of their arrival in the ultra-luxury category of Paso Robles fine wine.

We look forward to sharing this next chapter of Jada wines with you.
