Seghesio Family Vineyards
Sonoma County Zinfandel
Sonoma County, California, USA
Purple in color with a purplish rim.
Fruity nose with blueberries, black plums, stewed cherries, raisins, figs, light oak, licorice, spices, chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, spices, light wood, peppercorn, dark chocolates and herbs.
Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This 3-year-old Zinfandel from Sonoma County is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next few years.
Showing nice complexity with a soft mouth feel. Fruit forward and easy drinking. Rich, but not 'too much'.
The alcohol is not very noticeable at this point, although it is very high, so watch out.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent. I usually like it better with a little more age.
Wine Spectator 92 points.
A good everyday wine. Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with burger and fries.
A blend of 83% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah, 3% Alicante and 4% Mixed Reds.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25.

To celebrate my 2000th post on Instagram here is a nicely aged Zinfandel from Sonoma.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Very soft nose of blueberries, sweet strawberries, cherries, vanilla, oak, vinaigrette, spices, chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, black plums, red currants, wood, sweet raspberries, earth, light vegetables, leather, pencil lead, orange peel, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with very soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Is a very nice Zinfandel from Sonoma County. Showing nice complexity with an elegant mouthfeel.
This 9 year old is drinking completely differently than the three-year-old that I had not too long ago.
More red fruits than black fruits, with some earth notes, vinaigrette and vegetables which were not there when fresh.
Not as tasty until fully open (90 minutes), so be patient and you will not regret it.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. I paired it with T-bone steak and baked potatoes.
14.8% alcohol by volume.

Pizza wine Christmas Eve. Lost in the cellar gift... Did not mean for this to go 14 years. Surprisingly good. A potpourri of berries starting to rot.

Feb 16th, 2018Might be the first Zinfandel I didn't dislike and it is definitely the first that smelled like peach yogurt to me.
