Red Wines
V. Sattui sits in the heart of Napa Valley’s “red wine country,” where the region’s greatest Cabernets, Merlots and Zinfandels are made. No less than four vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignons are produced each year, including the always spectacular Preston Vineyard and Morisoli Vineyard Cabernets, and up to seven single-vineyard Zinfandels as well, most notably from Black-Sears Vineyard on Howell Mountain. Our Henry Ranch in Carneros produces lovely Pinot Noir and Merlot.

This full-bodied, dark berried, mouth-filling Cabernet is sourced from the Preston Vineyard located in the Rutherford Appellation. The region is known for its gravelly soils which produce rich, opulent red wines with fine-grained tannins and incredible complexity.
From its layered aromas of oak-sweetened cherries to its very smooth, neatly proportioned flavors of green olive, currant and tobacco, this engaging Merlot hits all the right varietal marks, then continues smoothly with a supple, round and lingering finish. Enjoy now with all manner of rich meat dishes.
Vittorio’s Vineyard, about thirty acres adjacent to the winery on the south side, is planted about half to Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils are gravelly loam and marginally fertile, which stresses the vines and produces excellent quality grapes. The vineyard enjoys a microclimate that is perfectly suited to Cabernet and the four other varieties (Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah & Zinfandel) planted there.
This Rutherford-bred Cabernet from the tiny Morisoli Vineyard, shows beautiful fruit ripeness, seamless texture and the power and elegance so characteristic of this stellar vineyard.
All of this wine was grown on our Henry Ranch (4 special blocks) on the Napa side of the Carneros appellation. A unique selection of special clones render our Pinot with bright fruit, a little earthiness and spice.
125th Celebration Blend - Special Bottling
Our hearty blend of mostly Zinfandel is ideal for mid-week or anytime enjoyment with pasta, pizza or burgers, and it has a price that is most affordable. But this has much more going on than any table red; this is a serious wine. And one taste confirms this. Its ripe, plummy flavors explode in the mouth with straightforward, refreshing fruitiness, all rounded out with hints of vanilla and spicy oak in the finish.
Fingers of Pacific fog follow the Russian River inland, cooling its watershed ahead of the surrounding terrain and making the area markedly cooler. This appellation, already well-revered for its Pinot Noirs, has been very consistent with producing well-bred and extracted Zinfandels.

Since 1994 V. Sattui has been producing stellar Cabernets from tiny Morisoli Vineyard, located in the very heart of Napa Valley’s Rutherford Appellation, planted in the deep rich soils on the western Napa Valley floor, just west of the small town of Rutherford.
Planted between 1916 and 1918 in the Dry Creek Valley near Geyserville in northern Sonoma County, the oldest vines in Joe Ramazzotti’s hallowed vineyard came from the old Mazzoni Zinfandel clone, thought to be on e of the original heritage clones dating back to the mid-19th century.
