2007 Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma

Seghesio is a consistant and afforable Zinfandel year in and year out. If you are a wine drinker and Zin drinker, you are probably familiar with Seghesio. They are a consistant Wine Spectator top 100 selection. Many times in the top 25. Their recognition by Wine Spectator is several fold. This wine usually rates at, near or above 90 points. It is priced under $20 in most places and they make a ton of it, so it is very widely available.

Seghesio makes a few other vineyard Zinfandels and those are priced a little over the Sonoma offering.

I also enjoy the fact that their wine style (2007 included) is not heavy, hot or cheap thrilly zin. It is fairly light on it's feet and the alcohol is not high 15%'s or more. This will not overwhelm most red wine type foods.

Tasting Note Review

Aroma of spice, blackberry and fruit skins with a nice mouthfeel that is not overly rich or thick. The palate had really nice flavors of cherries, spice and some pepper with nice balance and a very clean finish. This wine can work for almost anyone and go with almost anything. Under $20. Back up the truck....as usual

89 Points
