"Zen Zin" reflects Sunset Cellars' minimalist winemaking style and respect for the grower's efforts in the vineyards. Sunset's winemaking objective is to express and refine the flavors and characteristics created in the vineyard. All grapes are hand-sorted before crushing. Wines are fermented in half-ton containers and punched down by hand (see Gallery photos). Racking, done when necessary, is as gentle as possible, and aging features the restrained use of new oak, to enhance the grapes' flavors and not overpower them.

Our goal is to develop supple wines with ample fruit that celebrate the distinguishing characteristics produced in different regions and vineyards.

Sunset Cellars is committed to offering wines of quality and value.

Sunset Cellars is located at the Suisun Valley Wine Cooperative, encompassing winemaking facilities and storage for Sunset Cellars, and a tasting room shared by Sunset Cellars, Blacksmith Cellars, and King Andrews Vineyards. Blacksmith and King Andrews produce their wines at other locations; you can taste and purchase wines from all 3 wineries at the Suisun Valley Wine Cooperative.
