Seghesio Family Vineyards Sonoma County Zinfandel 2016
93 Points WS Always one of the favorite California Zins we carry. 93 Points Wine Spectator: "Plump and luscious, this is jam-packed with fruit. Lively blackberry, pepper and other spice box aromas lead to ripe and rich flavors of black raspberry, caramel and licorice. There are more complex Zinfandels, but few that are more enjoyable to drink. Drink now through 2022." Wine Enthusiast: "You could use this as a teaching tool for classic Sonoma County Zinfandel. It's full-bodied, dry and spicy, with briary flavors of wild berries, mocha, tobacco, leather and exotic spices. More importantly, it's absolutely delicious. The grapes come from Seghesio's best vineyards in the Alexander and Dry Creek valleys. An astonishing value."

I feel like this Zin has been going downhill with each vintage. ‘12 & ‘13 were excellent. ‘14 & ‘15 were decent but a bit thin. Now this 2016 doesn’t even taste like the same juice. Could just be me. Getting a little better as it opens up though.

This is a big ripe zin that needs to breathe a while before it can be fully appreciated. The nose is expansive and the taste does linger. Did have a few rough edges but still pared well with hearty soups and red meats. Drank in January 2022

Yes, it’s jammy. But nothing’s wrong with jammy when you get sweet plum, oak and medium tannins. Nice deflection from the bold cabs I drink.

Bouquets of chocolate and pencil shavings. The wine is beautiful.
