October 14, 2023 - Wow, who says Zinfandel does not age well. Just lovely !! I agree with my past tasting note !!
Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Consumed over two days. This balanced Zinfandel softens with air and develops nicely. Dark red color with little to no oxidation and good clarity. Aromas of blackberry and fig. Flavors of bramble berries, boysenberry black raspberry, and black currant. This gorgeous wine has a medium to long finish. Great old vine fruit excellently made wine by Ted Seghesio. This age worthy wine has a few more years of life left. Fortunately, I still have one bottle remaining in my cellar and plan to visit again soon to validate this tasting note. -

March 18, 2023 - Just found this in my cellar. The cork broke, but it is at least as good as when I had what I thought was my last bottle five years ago. Smooth and just lovely.

September 28, 2019 - A solid Zin. Big fruit on the nose. Fairly full-bodied. Taste of dark fruit with a hint of spice. Nice finish.

July 1, 2017 - Vertical tasting - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013. 2009 vintage is drinking really well now. Most complex, and at the same time mellow, of all tried.
