Las Jaras Sweet Berry Wine
Las Jaras Sweet Berry Wine
The wine has rich aromas of dark cherry, plum and blackberry as well as hints of cocoa nibs, allspice, and damp earth. Take a sip and you’ll find blue fruit, deep cherry, caraway, and saline earth with supple tannins and a long, savory finish.
The grapes for this blend are grown on dry-farmed old vines and sourced from vineyards in the center of Mendocino County. All of the vineyards we source from farm without the use of systemic chemicals and are either organic or are transitioning to organic farming. Most of the Carignan, Zinfandel, and all of the Charbono grapes come from Gary Venturi’s vineyard in Calpella, where they are farmed in Yokayo sandy loam soils. We also get a bit of the Carignan from the certified organic Ricetti Vineyard. 12% of the Carignan comes from the certified organic Testa Vineyard, and five percent of the Zinfandel comes from certified organic Hillside Vineyards in Talmage.
