The Tasting Experience

Nose: Inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and a hint of raspberry, layered with subtle notes of black pepper, clove, and a touch of toasted oak.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied, this Zinfandel presents a luscious texture with flavors of black plum, dried cranberry, and boysenberry. The palate is balanced by well-integrated tannins and a savory, earthy undertone.

Finish: A long, warm finish lingers with notes of dark chocolate, spice, and a gentle oak influence, leaving a satisfying and complex impression.

Serving & Mixology Guide

How to Enjoy: Best served slightly below room temperature.

Top Zinfandel Cocktails: Zinfandel Old Fashioned: Muddle a sugar cube with a few dashes of Angostura bitters, add a splash of water, then stir in 2 oz of Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel. Garnish with an orange peel. The rich fruit and spice notes of the Zinfandel create a robust and complex variation on the classic. Spiced Zinfandel Punch: Combine 1 bottle of Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel with 4 cups of cranberry juice, 1 cup of orange juice, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Serve warm or chilled for a festive, flavorful beverage. Blackberry Zinfandel Smash: Muddle fresh blackberries and mint leaves in a shaker, add 2 oz of Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz lemon juice. Shake well and serve over ice. This cocktail highlights the fruit-forward character of the wine.

Occasion: Ideal for casual sipping, entertaining, and hearty meals.

Gourmet Food Pairings

Pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb chops, slow-cooked barbecue ribs, and a sharp aged cheddar cheese.

Pro-Tip: Try this Zinfandel with smoked brisket to complement the wine's bold fruit and peppery notes.
