Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel 2018
Notes of ripe blackberry, baking spices and underbrush fill the bouquet. A rich entry of plum and cherry compote give way to a full mid-palate of smooth tannins and intense structure.

| Like a briar patch in a bottle, with zesty wild berry, licorice and smoked sage flavors that build tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2029. |

| Expressive red fruit, toasted cumin and spice nose. Riper palate with gamey flavours and fruit continuing on the finish. A fine wine. Blend : 87% Zinfandel, 9% Petite Sirah, 4% Alicante Bouschet |
| Wine Enthusiast: 90 |
|---|
| This is a robustly rich and ripe wine bursting in blackberry fruit, thick tannin and prominent oak. Hints of dried herb provide a complementary contrast, with 9% Petite Sirah and 4% Alicante Bouschet adding to the intensity. |
