Mazzocco, Stone Ranch 2020, Alexander Valley, Zinfandel

A plush red that is silky yet bold, warm, and spice-kissed. This is a crowd-pleasing bottle for steak dinners, spice-rubbed lamb, or long conversations accompanied by a cheese board.

Tasting Notes: This rich Alexander Valley red bursts with vibrant aromatics of black cherry marmalade, mocha, and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, velvety tannins wrap around wild plum and vanilla bean, with a polished touch of French oak and a subtle cayenne pepper kick. The wine’s seamless balance and flowing texture deliver a harmonious experience from first sip to finish.

Varietals: 100% Zinfandel

About the Winery: At Mazzocco, everything starts in the vineyard. From loamy valley floors to rugged, high-elevation parcels, the winery draws from a patchwork of distinct sites across Sonoma County to craft small-lot, vineyard-designate wines. Under the guidance of winemaker Antoine Favero, whose background spans Champagne, coastal Peru, and UC Davis, Mazzocco has earned a reputation for powerful yet elegant wines, especially its acclaimed Zinfandels and structured Cabernet Sauvignons. Each bottling reflects the character of its site, the care in the cellar, and a commitment to quality that shines through in every glass.
