Drinking beautifully right now, but wouldn’t recommend holding any longer. Deep almost opaque garner/purple color, good clarity. Aromas of dark fruit, a hint of wood and earth, silky texture, rich mouthfeel, and more flavors of dark berries balanced by background of cedar, earth, and subtle spice. Full-bodied without being heavy, with a moderately long finish with lingering wood and hint of spice. Wish I had just one more bottle! Cortina has been one of the most consistently delicious Seghesio Zinfandels, at an excellent price point (especially for us Seghesio club members!). Highly recommended!

Agree with JMCAFEE, et al. Beautiful peak mature drinking plateau, 1-2 yrs left at this level but holding is all-risk, little reward.
