Seghesio Family Vineyards
Sonoma County Zinfandel
Sonoma County, California, USA
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.
92 points.
$25.

So impressed by the powerful, playful, calmness of this wine. This is not an over alcohol Zin, NO NO. This is balanced with lots of back bone.
