Zenaida Cellars

Central Coast Grenache and Rhône blends rated by major critics.

Zenaida Cellars produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region known for its cool maritime influence and diverse terroir. The winery focuses on Rhône and Iberian varieties, with particular success in Grenache—a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Wanderlust blend, built from Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, reflects the winery's interest in southern French and Spanish grape traditions adapted to the Central Coast's conditions. Knucklehead, a Petite Sirah, rounds out the portfolio with the structure and depth that variety brings to California wines. These offerings suggest a winery engaged with both classic Mediterranean varieties and the textural possibilities of the Central Coast.
