This also makes Sobon Estate the longest continuous producer of Zinfandel in the state of California. In 1911, after Uhlinger's death in 1880, his sons sold the winery to Enrico D'Agostini. Enrico's children continued the winery production until 1984, when they sold the winery to Armagan Odziker.

Today the winery is still owned and operated by the Sobon Family under Sobon Wine Company LLChttps://sobonwine.com/
