Seghesio 2009 Cortina Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $38

A joy to drink. It’s so ripely exuberant in fruit, explosive in wild berry, dried red currant, licorice, cocoa and dusty spice flavors that sink deep into the palate and last forever on the finish. Yet it’s dry, and the structure is entirely elegant. The two vineyards that are source to this wine are old and dry-farmed. A very great Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, a… — S.H. (3/1/2012)

Seghesio 2007 San Lorenzo Zinfandel (Alexander Valley)

Price $60

Zinfandel isn’t ordinarily a wine you want to age, but this dry, tannic bottle will improve in the cellar. Made from Seghesio’s estate vineyard in the southern Alexander Valley, it’s amazingly rich in mulberry, currant, spice and mineral flavors, with beautiful tannins and perfect acidity. It’s gorgeous now, with a few hours of decanting, but will show increasing… — S.H. (12/31/2010)

Seghesio 2007 Cortina Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $36

A beautiful massive, mouthfilling Zinfandel. Impresses on every level, from the smooth, rich tannins to the dryness and above all the depth and range of flavors. Blackberries, chocolate, anise, bacon, pepper, sandalwood, the list goes on. Zinfandel doesn’t get much richer than this. The alcohol is 15.5%. — S.H. (5/1/2010)

Seghesio 2009 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $38

As chewy and umami, salty delicious as a mouthful of crunchy bacon. Throw in dried blackberries and blueberries, with a touch of smoky new oak, and that describes this fantastically pure, addictively good Zinfandel. The grape sourcing is from old vineyards in the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Truly a great Zin, and relatively easy to find, with 9,000 cases produced. — S.H. (3/1/2012)

Seghesio 2001 Rattlesnake Hill Venom Sangiovese (Alexander Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $45

Absolutely the best Sangiovese Seghesio can make, from steep, low-yielding hillside vineyards. Dense and concentrated, a wine that impresses the palate with the intensity of its cherry and spice fruit flavors and rich, complex tannins. Yet it has a light, silky mouthfeel. Addictively good, as near perfect and versatile a dinner wine as you could imagine. — S.H. (12/1/2003)

Seghesio 2008 Omaggio Red (Sonoma-Napa)

Online Exclusive

Price $60

This is the winery’s highest-end bottling, this year a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, from Alexander Valley and Mount Veeder. It’s charming to drink now, with deep, impressively ripe blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate flavors wrapped into soft, thick tannins. The finish is dry. Despite the deliciousness factor, it should hold and develop for at… — S.H. (3/1/2012)

Seghesio 2009 San Lorenzo Estate Red (Alexander Valley)

Price $60

Made from Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grown in the winery’s estate vineyard, this is a fabulous wine. It’s high in alcohol and a little hot, but superbly ripe, offering rich waves of raspberry and cherry pie filling, red currant, licorice and mocha, with a sweet-smoke oak flavor. It’s delicious and heady on its own, but try it with short ribs, pizza or duck breast… — S.H. (12/1/2012)

Seghesio 2007 Old Vine Zinfandel (Sonoma County)

Price $36

This is a very big, deeply flavored and densely concentrated wine. It’s so powerful, you might want to age it for a few years. As currently constructed it’s a massive juggernaut of blackberries, blueberries, coffee and sweet, smoky oak, finished with exotic spices. — S.H. (5/1/2010)
