Paravel Wines, located in Napa Valley, was established by Jon Jones, a seasoned vintner with a diverse background in music and winemaking. Originally from Fairfield and raised in South Lake Tahoe, Jon's journey into the wine industry began while studying at UC Santa Barbara, where he was introduced to wine through a connection at Robert Mondavi Winery. His career progressed through various roles, including oenology at Merryvale and winemaking at Opus One and Lava Vine Winery. Jon sources grapes primarily from the Henry Brothers’ Ranch on Howell Mountain, known for its high elevation and rocky soils, which are ideal for growing red varietals. He emphasizes a winemaking style that balances immediate drinkability with aging potential, utilizing lower temperature fermentation and careful barrel selection. Paravel produces a range of wines, including distinctive rosés and red blends. The tasting experience is characterized by a focus on unique flavors and textures, with wines that are approachable yet complex. Visitors can expect a personal touch in the wines, reflecting Jon's commitment to quality and craftsmanship in a scenic Napa setting.
