Zefina 2004 Serience Red Wine (Horse Heaven Hills)
- $30
The Serience Red is a southern Rhône blend of 42% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 11% Mourvèdre, 7% Cinsault and 5% Counoise. Though a new release, it comes out nicely aged, benefiting from some extra time in bottle. The flavors are round and fruity, and the wine has a sweet core of ripe red berries, baking spices and light herbs. The only disappointment is the finish, which…

Zefina 2002 Serience White Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Not what you’d expect; this is a 55% Viognier/45% Roussanne blend, robust and balanced. It crisply mixes the honey/floral and citrus/tropical characters of the two grapes, while walking the stylistic tightrope between stainless steel and barrel fermentation.

Zefina 2001 Zinfandel (Columbia Valley (WA))

Homegrown zin is catching on in Washington, and this captures the style nicely. Claret-like, with bright berries and juniper spice highlight a taut, fresh, tangy wine.

Zefina 2001 Serience Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Unusual mix includes Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise. Forward, ripe aromas of berries, cherries and plums atop layers of tobacco and malted chocolate. Soft and accessible, but somewhat shapeless.

- $40
The Serience is round and fruity, with sweet strawberry jam flavors front and center. This shows its 14.6% alcohol with a bit of burn in the finish.

Zefina 2003 Serience Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $30
This unusual wine mixes Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Cinsault—not gonna find that in California! It’s got a great spicy edge to it, along with chocolatey tannins and acids that suggest a lick of grapefruit—the Washington Syrah signature. It’s a very appealing red blend, great for tossing into any party mix, unpretentious, rich and flavorful.

Zefina 2004 Serience White (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $20
This 50/50 Viognier/Roussanne blend brings sharp, crisp, acid-driven flavors to your mouth. It’s a confident mix of pineapple, tropical fruit, melon and citrus with a sharp tang to the finish. Though it feels a little hot when sipped alone, it’s got the stuffing to be an intriguing accompaniment to certain foods, such as spicy Asian shellfish and seafood.

Zefina 2006 Serience White (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
The blend is 60% Viognier and 40% Roussanne; the wine is a rich golden color, with an equally rich and fruity mouthfeel. Flavors include lots of golden apple, hints of peach and light tropical. This is well-balanced, seamless and shows medium concentration.
