Established in 1865 when Eduardo Seghesio planted his first Zinfandel vine in Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley, the Seghesio estate has gone on to make a name for itself for the quality of its wines and attention to detail. Located in Healdsberg in the heart of Sonoma wine country, the estate 121 hectares of vineyards located in the Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River
Valleys.
Seghesio are Zinfandel specialists with the variety accounting for 85% of their production and the wines winning many awards in local and international wine shows. 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, Seghesio's benchmark is minimum 50 years. However, the average age of these 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.
2019 Seghisio Old Vine Zinfandel has deeply perfumed aromas of raspberry and old vine Zinfandel's intrinsic briary spiciness with layered bright fruit flavors reminiscent of a cherry pie with a graham cracker crust. Notes of old vine Zinfandel’s complex spice undertones and low yields in the vineyard preserved the vibrant natural acidity and balanced tannins through the long, persistent finish. 14.8% Alc/Vol
