The combination of high altitude, long growing season and well-drained rocky red soil creates the ideal balance for producing outstanding Zinfandel. This 2014 vintage from Jelly Jar Wines is no exception. It is rich and medium-bodied, and should pair extremely well with virtually anything off the grill. 1,790 cases produced.
Jelly Jar marks a return to early California winemaking, when Italian immigrants crafted food-friendly wines to enjoy around the family table – most often out of jelly jars. Long before Napa Valley became the wine destination we know today, these winemakers planted backyard vineyards and enlisted family members to harvest and crush grapes. Andy Pestoni (proprietor) is a fourth generation winemaker with deep roots in the Napa Valley. Andy’s great-grandfather, Albino Pestoni, arrived in St. Helena in the late 1890’s from Italy and settled with his family. Making wine was part of their heritage and remnants of the family’s original hand-built winery still stands today at the base of Howell Mountain. Andy continues the winemaking tradition with Jelly Jar, a wine reminiscent of those early days when times were a bit simpler.
