Mettler Zinfandel
California Zinfandel, poured with thirty years of local know-how.
The story behind Mettler
Zinfandel is California's own red grape story, a variety that arrived by way of Europe and then found its fullest voice in the warm inland vineyards of the state. It ripens unevenly, which is why the best bottlings balance jammy dark fruit against firm structure and a peppery lift. Mettler works in that tradition, a California producer whose reds we have carried long enough to know how they show on the shelf and at the table.
We cannot tell you a founding year or a vineyard name for Mettler, and we will not invent one. What we can tell you is what the bottles do: ripe, generous Zinfandel with the briar and blackberry character the grape is known for, alongside a Cabernet and a Petite Sirah in the same honest, food friendly California mold. That consistency is why it stays in the Commack racks.

Mettler cocktails and pairings
Zinfandel wants fat, smoke and spice. Keep the Mettler away from delicate fish and let it meet the grill.
