When we tasted and touted this wine early in 2024, we felt this would be a worthy contender to be placed on Wine Spectator's list of "Top 100 Wines for 2024". But Wine Spectator did something superior, as they named Seghesio's 93-point Zinfandel their "Top Value Wine of 2024"!
The Seghesio wines seem to always light up our mouths with a combination of great flavors and freshness that you just don't get in many other Zinfandels. Seghesio Family Vineyards was established in 1895 when Italian immigrant and winemaker Edoardo Seghesio planted his first Zinfandel vineyard in what is now Sonoma's Alexander Valley. Edoardo and his wife Angela continued to tend their vineyards through Prohibition and were one of approximately 100 wineries to survive that era.
Seghesio is synonymous with quality, and this Sonoma County bottling comes from diverse lots of Zinfandel that span the Sonoma landscape; from Sonoma Valley, to Alexander Valley, and Dry Creek Valley. Each of these lots is produced under the careful eye of winemaker Andy Robinson and he blends a small amount of Petite Sirah and "mixed reds" to honor century old traditions and to provide color and structure.
This Zinfandel captivates with a complex fusion of blackberry, black currant, plum, cherry, and baking spice aromas. Its lively palate showcases succulent fruit interwoven with supple tannins, persisting from mid-palate to a gratifying finish.
Its intricate depth perfectly complements indulgent dishes like meaty pasta sauces, hearty short ribs, velvety pork belly, portobello mushrooms, pizza, or luxurious gnocchi gorgonzola, enhancing the dining experience with robust yet nuanced harmony. In a time where value is key, this wine is surely to light up the dinner table!
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS - "Vivacious and briary, this Zin is generous with personality, offering blackberry, licorice and orange peel accents that zip along the zesty finish. Drink now through 2032."
