Las Jaras Wines Slipper Sippers Nouveau 2024 Review
Las Jaras is one of the few producers in California that’s adapted the idea of making a “nouveau” wine each year. These wines are the first to be bottled from the harvest, similar to the fresh, young bottlings from Beaujolais that brought so much attention to the style. The unconventional blend of Zinfandel, Carignan, Petite Sirah, and Vermentino is fermented with carbonic maceration, lending to a juicy, fruit-forward character. The result is a light-bodied wine that arrives in the glass a deep magenta hue. It pops with notes of mixed berries — from tart wild strawberries (tops and all) to ripe raspberries and muddled blackberries — lifted by a refreshing acidity.
