Seghesio Zinfandel Old Vine 2015

General Information

Seghesio Family Vineyards has been part of the history and fabric of Sonoma County since 1895, a testament to the indomitable will of two Italian immigrants, their family, and their determination to persevere against incredible odds. Through five generations, their stewardship of the land and craftsmanship of their wines has paid tribute to those who came before them.

Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel blends vineyards planted on the Dry Creek bench and the cooler southwest Alexander Valley. Although “old vine” is often loosely interpreted in the wine industry, their benchmark is minimum 50 years, however, the average age of their vines is approximately 70 years old. True old vine Zinfandel is distinguished by head trained vines with thick, gnarled trunks and is planted with ancient clones dating back to the turn of the century.

Medium to deep garnet-purple, the 2015 Zinfandel Old Vine offers a beguiling nose of crushed blueberries, Black Forest cake and crème de cassis with hints of dried roses, liquorice, incense and tilled soil. Full-bodied, rich and with wonderful purity, it has an amazing frame of ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
