A Holiday Season of Wine at Sierra Vista Winery
The holiday season is upon us! It’s time for cozy gatherings, festive holiday meals, and creating memories with the people we cherish most. At Sierra Vista Winery, we believe every celebration becomes even more special with the perfect wine to match the moment. From spooky October nights to Thanksgiving feasts and Christmas cheer, our manager has hand-picked the perfect three wines to highlight the best of the season.
October: Old Clone Zinfandel- A Hauntingly Bold Favorite
October calls for a wine with spirit, character, and just a touch of mystery. Our Old Clone Zinfandel is the perfect pairing for the season of Halloween. With its deep, rich flavors and bold personality, our Old Clone Zinfandel comes from our fifty-year-old Zinfandel vineyard. Dense and chewy with firm tannins; dark cherry, and ripe blackberry fruit notes with aromas of pie cherries, cedar, and oak, makes this Zin feels right at home by a roaring fire, carving pumpkins, and pairing with spiced deserts and fall dishes.
November: Mourvèdre- A Cranberry Forward wine for the Perfect Thanksgiving
For November’s gatherings, nothing complements a Thanksgiving table quite like our Mourvèdre. This wine has a bright cranberry-forward profile with a plethora of perfect holiday flavors. The acidity is bright and fresh, while the tannins remain restrained and approachable. The finish is long with hints of earthiness, and lingers with that classic Mourvèdre spice, making it an ideal partner for turkey, stuffing, and all your holiday favorites. Its cranberry notes bring nostalgic flavor ad balance to a rich Thanksgiving feast, ensuring every bite and sip feels like the holidays in a glass.
December: Syrah:- A Plum Perfect for Christmas Cheer
December is the season of warmth, joy, and togetherness, and our Syrah is the perfect wine to match. The first sip brings ripe plum and black fig, reminiscent of the rich fruits often found in holiday desserts and reminds us of that classic Christmas flavor. The mid-palate unfolds with layers of blueberry and blackberry, balanced by a subtle earthiness. The finish is beautifully layered with leather, violet, fresh marjoram, and just a hint of clove—a spice that calls to mind mulled wine and Christmas baking.
This Syrah shines alongside a festive holiday table, whether paired with herb-crusted lamb shanks, a roast prime rib, or even a platter of spiced charcuterie and cheeses by the glow of twinkling Christmas lights.
A Toast to the Holidays and Reminder of Gifting Season!
From October’s mysterious and bold Zinfandel to November’s cranberry-kissed Mourvèdre and December’s plum forward Syrah, these wines are designed to bring warmth, flavor, and celebration to your holiday season.
