Description

Seghesio Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel 2021

This wine comes from the old head-pruned vineyards in Alexander and Dry Creek valleys farmed by the multi-generational Passalacqua and Saini families for Seghesio. The older vines devigorized root system produces less, yet more intense, fruit highlighting Zinfandel’s briary spice characteristic.

Vineyard Notes

Bold and spicy with rich, briary fruit, our Old Vine Zinfandel showcases the complexity and intensity that only truly old vines can yield. For us, “Old Vine” means that the vines are at least 50 years old, and we source grapes for this wine from exceptional vineyards that are closer to 75 years old on average.

Tasting Notes

A depth of aromatics hit you in the face of black plum, fig, and baking spices. Our Old Vine Zinfandel opens with a luscious mouth filling entry of candied figs, baking spices and mocha. Savory notes and lengthy tannins on the mid-palate give way to a rich, velvety dense finish with intense structure.

Food Pairing Notes

Beautifully balanced, this wine pairs well with Beef Braciole, mushroom sugo, and cherry balsamic pork tenderloin.
