Wine Review: 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. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Bright and alluring, the nose bursts with vibrant red raspberry, accented by the rich aroma of Santa Rosa plums and the deep, juicy undertones of fresh blackberries. On the palate, lively acidity dances gracefully, creating an engaging, tactile experience that glides seamlessly into a finish of silky, supple tannins. This vintage is a vivid expression of the 2023 cooler growing season, where crisp, freshly picked fruit flavors shine, beautifully preserved by cool nights and an extended ripening period, yielding perfectly mature tannins. This wine will pair nicely with hearty dishes like short ribs, velvety pork belly, or luxurious gnocchi gorgonzola.
