About Las Jaras Wines Las Jaras is the project of Eric Wareheim, who channels a deep love of the classic American steakhouse into wines built for the table. Las Jaras Steakhouse Cabernet Sauvignon Region: Sonoma County, California Varietal: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Zinfandel Soil Type: Gravelly Laughlin loam, Dry Creek Valley Vinification: Destemmed and crushed, with fermentation bins sealed for eight days before spontaneous native fermentation. Daily punchdowns during active fermentation, followed by a 7-day extended maceration. Aged 26 months in 255-liter Bordeaux barrels, with native malolactic fermentation. Filtered but not fined.

On the palate: damson plum and black cherry layered with cocoa and violet, with a seamless mid-palate, refined tannins, and a long, supple finish. Pairing: Grilled steaks, braised short ribs, lamb chops, and anything you’d order at a great steakhouse. Farming: Organically farmed at Vinegrove Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley.
