The story

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.

Good to know

Mettler questions, answered

What does Mettler Zinfandel taste like?
It drinks in the ripe California style, with blackberry and briar fruit, moderate acidity and a peppery finish. Expect a fuller bodied red rather than a light one, and give it twenty minutes open before pouring.
Is Zinfandel a sweet wine?
Zinfandel is a dry red wine, though its ripe fruit can read as sweet to some palates. The sweetness people remember is white Zinfandel, a different wine made from the same grape with the skins pulled early.
Where is Mettler wine made?
Mettler is a California producer, and the reds we stock are California appellation wines. We do not publish vineyard or estate details we cannot verify, so ask at the counter and we will tell you exactly what the label states.
Can I get Mettler delivered or pick it up?
Yes. Curbside pickup in Commack is free, local delivery is free over $250, and we deliver same-day or next-day across Nassau and Suffolk. Wine ships only to states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout.
What should I serve with Mettler Petite Sirah?
Serve it with something fatty and charred, like grilled lamb, short ribs or a blue cheese burger. Petite Sirah is dense and tannic, so it needs protein and smoke rather than anything light or acidic.
