2023 Seghesio Zinfandel

An old-school Zin that's loaded with zest and briar patch, plus raspberry, savory anise and white pepper flavors that end with snappy tannins.

This ruby colored Zinfandel from Seghesio opens with a craisin and plum bouquet with hints of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth and seamless. The flavor profile is spiced black plum and craisin blend with notes of blackberry tea and stony minerality. I also detected hints of tobacco and a dash of black pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and its refined dusty tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this crowd-pleasing Zinfandel with your favorite burger this summer.
