Sourced from prime vineyard sites in Sonoma County, this Zinfandel reflects Sebastiani’s commitment to producing bold, expressive reds. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in a mix of French and American oak, the 2021 vintage balances ripe fruit with well-integrated spice and structure. A full-bodied, generously fruited wine that remains true to its California heritage.
Bouquet
Lush and intense, with aromas of blackberry jam, dark cherry, and blueberry, wrapped in layers of vanilla, clove, and toasted oak. A hint of cocoa and liquorice adds richness to the nose.
Palate
Full-bodied and smooth, with generous dark fruit, black pepper, and baking spice. The oak ageing brings a touch of smoky caramel and mocha, while supple tannins and moderate acidity keep the palate balanced and approachable. Rich, warming, and deeply satisfying.
Food Pairing
Perfect with barbecued ribs, pulled pork, grilled portobello mushrooms, or smoky sausage and bean stew. Also excellent with aged cheddar or dark chocolate with a hint of spice.
Interesting Fact
Sebastiani Winery, founded in 1904, is one of the oldest continually operating wineries in Sonoma—and kept producing wine during Prohibition by selling legal sacramental wine to churches!
