Don Sebastiani & Sons SMOKING LOON Viognier California

Behind the light straw color are aromas of sweet spring flowers, green tea, and a touch of fresh pineapple. The palate is framed by flavors of lemon meringue, fresh papaya, limestone, and subtle nuances of clove finishing with nectarine and light vanilla oak tones. Blend: 90% Chardonnay, 10% Chenin Blanc Appellation: 51% Northern Interior Valley, 30% Mendocino, and 19% Clarksburg (12 x 75 cl)

This Merlot is dark garnet in color and has aromas of fresh basil, blueberries, and Bing cherries. With good richness without being too heavy on the palate, the flavors of fresh cherry pie, sweet plum, and soft cinnamon spiked cranberry dressing finishing with notes of rich, vanilla French oak and delicate cherry and strawberry flavors. Appellation: 35% Lodi, 29% Central Valley, 17% Monterey, 8% Paso Robles, 5% Arroyo Grande, 4% Mendocino, 2% Sonoma County (12 x 75 cl)

Brilliant garnet color with seductive rose petal green tea aroma. The palate is ripe with heavily extracted cherry and strawberry flavors with a slight astringency akin to pomegranate seeds. Appellation: 40% Mendocino, 60% Monterey

Aromas of grapefruit and fresh sliced oranges, flavours of nectarines, mandarin oranges, and limestone, and a finish of minerals and lemongrass. This is the perfect wine for a platter of raw oysters dressed with just one squeeze of a lemon wedge, or sliced fresh fruit with Sonoma Monterey Jack cheese, also delicious on its own. (12 x 75 cl)

Dark plum color with a nose reminiscent of black cherries with a touch of cinnamon and cloves. This Cab is brimming with ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit with a touch of white pepper and dill; but finishes with notes of currants and strawberry rhubarb pie filling. Blend: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Syrah Appellation: 45% Monterey, 35% Paso Robles, and 20% Lodi (12 x 75 cl)

Medium golden straw color with tropical pineapple guava and passionfruit aromas. The lively acidity provides an appropriate platform for the juicy fruit flavors of tangerine, peach and sweet honeysuckle finish. Appellation: 40% Mendocino, 60% Monterey (12 x 75 cl)

Our non-vintage Old Vine Zin is deep purple in color and has a bouquet of blackberry cobbler, fresh figs, currants, and cloves. This is a rich full-bodied Zinfandel with notes of dried dark fruit, fresh blackberries, caramel, pipe tobacco, Zin spice, and finishing with tons of rich French oak. Blend: 90% Zinfandel, 7% Syrah, 2% Merlot, 1% Petite Verdot Appellation: 37% Napa Valley, 22% Sierra Foothills, 15% Paso Robles, 12% Lodi, 9% Monterey, 5% Sonoma County (12 x 75 cl)

With a very dark garnet color, this wine has bright black cherry and mocha aromas with traces of toasted, vanilla oak. The flavor again displays deeply concentrated black cherry and embodies jammy fruit yet refrains from being flabby due to its proper tannin and oak structure. The finish persists with toasted oak and berry flavors. Easily, this is the most hedonistic Merlot made by Sebastiani. (12 x 75 cl)

The dark crimson red color is unusually darker than past Sonoma Merlot's. The aromas consist of blueberry and black cherry fruit with high tones of vanilla and char from the barrels. Your mouth will delight in the vanilla and mocha flavors coupled with "bigger" jammier fruit with greater tannins and acidity, which is so characteristic of the fruit from this vintage. It, stylistically, is more full-bodied and more age worthy than our past Sonoma County Merlots. (12 x 75 cl)
