Staff Pick Notes

Las Jaras focuses on fun natural wines made with low intervention right here in the USA. Glou, glou is the sound your throat makes when you are "chugging" this easy to drink light red. A blend of three grapes carignan, zinfandel and petite syrah.

Zinfandel

Zinfandel is widely thought of as “America’s grape,” but in fact the variety is of Croatian origin, and is genetically extremely similar to Italian Primitivo, which thrives in the warmest parts of southern Italy. Like Primitivo, Zinfandel requires warm but not hot growing conditions, as its skins are relatively thin: this can cause its berries to shrivel into raisins if left on the vine a little too long. Dry and well-drained terroirs are also preferable for Zinfandel, as its bunches are...
