From the Grower

"The nose shows subtle strawberry, Santa Rosa plum and savory notes of damp earth. The palate excites with wild strawberry in the attack and layers of raspberry and red licorice with a frame of lime and slate mineral. There is a ton of tension on the palate but the tannin is like it is not even there. What we like the most about this wine is the nerve and the freshness. It is also very linear without the huge blockyness or saltyness you see in many California pinot noirs."

About Las Jaras Wines

In gold country, the hills are rocky and rolling. Cows roam the area surrounding the vineyard. It's hot, arid climate means the grapes ripen quickly. Six of the varieties in Superbloom come from Love Ranch vineyard in Madera County, near Coarsegold. This certified organic vineyard is situated near the southern gate of Yosemite on rolling hills at about 2,000 feet above sea level. The climate is very hot there—it can get up to 90ºF by 10 in the morning!—and the soils are free-draining granitic schist. This combination of factors means the grapes ripen quickly, and fruit from Love Ranch is often the first into the winery each year.
