Forward fruit, supple, long lingering finish of dried fruit and alcohol lended complexity. Drank with spicy Thai curry; not a great match. I waited about 2 years too long on this one.

Deep dark hue, concentrated flavor of prunes, chocolate, tobbacco and black cherry-almost shiraz like. A little tart on the finish, a result of the thick tannins, delicious.

Decanted about three hours. Floral, raspberry and blueberry notes scream from the glass. On the palate, blackberry and black cherry dominate, with a long, sweet, tannic finish. Still a lot of life left in this one.

Wonderful nose of wild berry fruit pouring out of the bottle. Great color. Plenty of life left in this wine, with quite a bit of tannin and some heat noticable right out of the cellar. Warmed up a bit, it opens spectacularly with briary fruit on the palate and a nice lengthy finish. I love this proprietor's zins! Dare I say it was a perfect match for my wife's meatloaf (even she agreed!) Hopefuly I'll get more of that and she'll let me buy more of this wine!

Ripe and rich berry and black cherry fruit. Plenty of structure with hints of tobacco and mocha on the finish. Seghesio is a consistent winner in my book.

Purple hue, this wine has been filtered, medium weight. Pretty ripe black cherry, with a little floral-violet. Very round in mouth hints of mocha an tobacco leaf with some nice focused cherry fruit. This is a lighter elegant styled Zinfandel. I would definitely purchase this again.

Opened and drank over 5 hours - got better the whole time. Great blackberry and currants, juicy mouth feel, long finish. Love the Seghesio Zin's.

I thought this would be done...but still very good. Very balanced. Another bottle I "found" as I got my inventory together.

Bummer. Waited a bit too long on this one. Still ok - but not the wine I remember - most of the up front berry is gone.

Medium color; subdued, dark fruit aromas. Dark fruit, slightly overripe flavors, but well balanced. I think this is past its prime, drink up.

Loaded with black berry, chocolate, coffee, and tannin. I should have held onto this last bottle for another 2-3 yrs!

Still sharp and hot. Good wine, wonderful nose but time should heal the discrepancy between nose and palate.
