Description
Italian immigrant Samuele Sebastiani came to California in the late 1800s and quickly became known in Sonoma for his quality wines with a wide range of internationally known grape varieties. The specialties of the area are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. But Sebastiani can also call themselves the pioneer of Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma. They were the first winery in the AVA to plant Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Sebastiani North Coast Chardonnay 'Butterfield Station' comes from various vineyards in California, including Sonoma County, Mendocino County and Lake County. These areas are known for their ripe Chardonnay. The name 'Butterfield Station' refers to the name of the vineyard. After pressing, half of the juice is fermented in oak and also undergoes malolactic fermentation. This ensures the conversion of the sharp malic acid into softer lactic acid, and gives the wine a creamy character. The other half is fermented at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in oak barrels, a mix of French, Hungarian and American oak. In the glass, the Sebastiani Butterfield Station is light golden yellow in color. In the nose we smell notes of baked apple, vanilla and buttered toast/brioche. In the mouth, the wine is refreshing, full and creamy in taste with notes of ripe pear, peach and apple. The wine is full-bodied but also has a good freshness and is recommended with chicken in cream sauce or sea bass with lemon and butter sauce.
ABOUT AVA NORTHERN COAST
From the rolling hills of the south to the giant redwood forests of the north, the North Coast vineyards span over 3 million acres, united by the climatic influence of creeping Pacific morning fogs and coastal breezes. Home to one of the most temperate climates in California, this area includes most of the state’s famous and acclaimed wineries. The AVA consists of the famous areas north of San Francisco. Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake, Solano and Marin counties are found here, as well as the sub-appellations of Russian River Valley, Stags Leap and Los Carneros. The best wines from the area are not labeled under the North Coast AVA. Instead, they are associated with specific AVA sub-appellations. As such, the North Coast AVA wine style will be more of a generic California red, blending fruit from across the appellation. The climate, cooler than the Central Coast, produces fresher, more expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, bold Zinfandels, fine Pinot Noir, fruity Merlot, tropical Chardonnay and crisp Sauvignon blancs.

Italian immigrant Samuele Sebastiani came to California in the late 1800s and quickly became known in Sonoma for his quality wines using a wide variety of internationally renowned grape varieties. The specialties for the area are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. But Sebastiani can also call himself the pioneer of the Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma. They were the first winery in the AVA to plant Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Sebastiani winery was founded in 1904. At the time, the winery was built in a very rural area for that time, known for agriculture and cattle breeding. The agricultural air that could occasionally be smelled as far as the coast in an easterly wind was jokingly referred to as 'Sonoma aroma'. At that time, it was mainly farmers who came to Sonoma because of the good farmland and cooling conditions from the American west coast. Samuele initially did not come to California to grow wine, but to work on the streets of San Francisco. In the early 20th century he was also responsible for the construction of the rural village center of Sonoma, which still exists today in the same capacity. In 1904 he went there to make wine for the local population.
Sonoma proved to be ideal not only for agriculture in general, but even more specifically for viticulture. It is the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay that benefit most from this unique microclimate, which is characterized by the so-called Humbold Gulf Stream. But Cabernet Sauvignon also plays an equally important role for Sebastiani here.
Sonoma is now one of the most sustainable and innovative wine regions in California. This is reflected in the balanced soil policy in the Sebastiani vineyards: compost use is encouraged and the use of pesticides is minimized. In addition, there is a water management program, in which the amount of irrigation water is reduced, and a recycling program.
