Las Jaras 'Slipper Sipper' Nouveau, North Coast, California 2023
Las Jaras' Nouveau is a mega-delicious tribute to the first wine of the vintage. Inspired by Jules Chauvet and the Beaujolais tradition, this Zinfandel-led blend goes through carbonic maceration in sealed, CO2-filled tanks: a vibrant, neon-bright red that captures the raw energy of harvest, built for immediate enjoyment.
Tasting Notes
"A nose full of blackberry, red plum and cocoa leads into a juicy palate of raspberry, chocolate-covered cherry and boysenberry. Zippy acidity and fine, cocoa-powder tannins keep it incredibly fresh. Pair with Thanksgiving dinner, backyard burgers or a slight chill on a sunny day." — Harvest Wine Shop
