Joseph Carr is an American wine brand founded in 2005 by Joseph Carr, a former sommelier and wine industry executive who wanted to create wines that balanced elegance, value, and authenticity. Carr’s vision was to produce wines that reflected both his professional background in fine dining and his personal roots in a working-class New England family, making them approachable yet refined.

The brand sources grapes from California’s top regions, particularly Napa Valley, Sonoma, and the North Coast. Rather than owning vast vineyard estates, Joseph Carr partners with trusted growers, allowing flexibility in sourcing while maintaining a focus on quality fruit. The winemaking style emphasizes balance—ripe fruit typical of California, but with restraint and structure that makes the wines food-friendly and versatile.

Joseph Carr wines cover core varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, with each bottling designed to deliver a polished yet accessible profile. Beyond the flagship line, Carr also launched Josh Cellars, named in honor of his father. Josh quickly grew into one of the most successful wine brands in the United States, becoming a household name for approachable, affordable California wine.

As a brand, Joseph Carr represents passion, humility, and storytelling. It stands for bridging fine wine knowledge with everyday enjoyment, honoring family legacy while producing wines that resonate with both casual drinkers and those with a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship.
