| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 28 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Zingrrl on 2/26/2023 & rated 89 points: First day was a bid acidic and an end bite. Good dark fruit. Better on second day; more integrated with nice finish. (417 views) | | | Tasted by dalemosier on 11/5/2022 & rated 91 points: full bodied red with strong fruit. If you like red wine can be by itself or with meal (414 views) | | | Tasted by golfhawk on 8/15/2022 & rated 91 points: Great spice and rich texture and mouthfeel. Has some tannins but is drinking great with a rich dish. (588 views) | | | Tasted by dino_mike on 7/7/2022 & rated 91 points: Drinking well now, smooth slick and complex zin and petite syrah flavors have aged nicely and the dry edge from a couple years back is more background and adds body. (637 views) | | | Tasted by dino_mike on 10/30/2021 & rated 89 points: Still on its way up. Last 2 bottles I was a bit disappointed for the first half of the bottle since it was a bit high-toned, a tad sharper than I'd like but last half or next day half it smoothes out and is quite veluptuous. So, decant with air before serving and it makes for a very nice zin-petite sirrah blend and 2 more points. I think 2023 would be a good year to really shine. (941 views) | | | Tasted by wtianseter on 9/25/2021 & rated 89 points: The wine is smooth and flavorful but it did not make the 90 point cut today. The flavors didn't separate like previous bottles. (671 views) | | | Tasted by golfhawk on 2/11/2021 & rated 90 points: An interesting wine that seems to be well balanced. Should be drank over the next three years. (1031 views) | | | Tasted by wtianseter on 6/16/2020 & rated 90 points: Mellow and smooth with lots of fruit throughout. The Zin component is evident with the spiciness but it is rather subdued. The fruit is the star here with nicely integrated flavor that separate as the wine sits in the glass (1284 views) | | | Tasted by Collinsb1 on 2/14/2020 & rated 90 points: Excellent- a bit brighter than the 2015 at this point but nice balance, medium/light body, fruit is nice. (1337 views) | | | Tasted by Smwoelfel on 12/14/2019: Gave away (1217 views) | | | Tasted by Tsougy on 5/20/2019 & rated 89 points: Presents as a medium+ purple. On the nose strawberry jam, cranberries and raspberries jump out. In the background notes of baking spices and vanilla, with a hint of tobacco leaf. On the palate very fruit forward with cranberries and raspberries, followed by light black pepper and tobacco leaf notes towards the finish.

Sweet: Dry (1451 views) | | | Tasted by jmcafee on 5/14/2019: The fruit is a little over ripe. Tannins needs a little bit of smoothing. Suggest waiting until 2021.

| Seghesio Family Vineyards Producer website
Begun in 1895 by our grandfather, Edoardo Seghesio. Seghesio Family Vineyards is a collection of estate vineyards in Sonoma County hand-farmed by our family for four generations.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
