Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The Sebastiani Domenici Old Vines Mourvédre is a dark crimson color as a result of the mature fruit and volcanic soils in which it is planted. It has the classic Mourvédre notes of nutmeg and herbes de Provence, yet the Domenici Vineyard shows its unique depth of blackberry jam and licorice in both the aroma and the flavor. This wine is reminiscent of Bandol reds from warm vintages and is a fine expression of this grape, grown on rocky, well-drained soils with full sun exposure. Bottle aging further softened the finish and added truffle-like complexities to the aroma. Enjoyable now, it will further develop and improve over the next three to five years.

Since it’s founded in 1904 by Samuele Sebastiani, Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery has been a Sonoma winemaking tradition. The winery is located in the heart of downtown Sonoma and offers a historic winery with a hospitality center, barrel room with stunning antique redwood tanks, a grand event space and daily tours and tastings.

Planted in 1961, the “Original Vineyard Block” now known as Cherryblock, was planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, which led the winery to create one of Sonoma County’s first varietal Cabernet Sauvignon. Sebastiani has continued its tradition in crafting a variety of Cabernet’s including the iconic Cherryblock, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon. Utilizing grapes from a variety of premier growing sites created wines with richness and complexity.

Proprietor, Bill Foley, purchased Sebastiani in 2008 and honors the traditions of Sebastiani while embracing the future. Sebastiani Vineyards and Winery continues to create consistent, highly acclaimed wines crafted by Winemaker, David Nakaji.
