Serres Ranch

2010 Sonoma Valley Zinfandel

The St. Francis Serres Ranch Zinfandel from the esteemed Sonoma Valley boasts a vibrant red hue that captivates the eye. This delightful wine offers a full-bodied experience characterized by its lush mouthfeel and richness. With a pronounced acidity that brings brightness and liveliness, it dances harmoniously on the palate. The fruit intensity is evident through ripe, juicy notes of blackberries and dark cherries, which are beautifully intertwined with hints of spice and vanilla from oak aging. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the overall elegance of the wine. As a dry Zinfandel, it finishes with a satisfying, lingering aftertaste, making it a wonderful companion for grilled meats and hearty dishes.

Sonoma Valley

Situated between the Mayacamas and Sonoma mountain ranges, wine has been made here since 1825. It is unsurprising, then, that it is home to ancient Zinfandel vines—some of which are more than a century old. You will mainly find these in the northern reaches of the valley, growing alongside Cabernet Sauvignon. The warm and sunny climate results in bold reds with concentrated fruit flavors. But that is not the entire story of this valley. For crisp and elegant wines, look to the southern stretches, where the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay helps to develop elegant Pinot Noir and bright, crisp Chardonnay.
