Opened and let it breathe for 2 hours. Full bodied taste with strong fruit, but not over bearing. Nice lingering taste. Don't expect it to get better but should last well for at least 2 years.

Dark fruits, liquorice, oak, vanilla with a good acidity.
Seghesio succeeds with their premium Zinfandel wines where others fail.
While containing the trademark ripe sweet dark fruit of Zinfandel it retains acidity, focus and nuance.
Wholly recommend premium Seghesio Zinfandel such as 'Cortina' 'Rockpile' or 'Old vine' as a must-try of the American Zins before abandoning the grape as a whole.

A nice deep purple body with a magenta rim. Wonderful nose of cherries, cassis, vanilla, licorice, dark chocolate, sweet tobacco. Medium full bodied with beautifully integrated sweet tannins. This has a deft touch, with a mineral spine that drives the finish keeping it deceptively light for such a big wine.

Big fruit with tons of prickly spice. Tobacco and dark brooding berries on the front; a middle that tingles the tongue and stays with you through the fruit and mellow tannin on the end.
