Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel 2023

WS90

The Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel 2023 is a bold and expressive red that celebrates the diversity of Sonoma County's top vineyards. Crafted from over 150 individually fermented lots sourced from estate and partner vineyards across Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, and Sonoma Valley, this vintage reflects Seghesio’s legacy of Zinfandel mastery.

In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue with vibrant aromas of red raspberry, Santa Rosa plum, blackberry, and a hint of warm baking spice. The palate is juicy and layered, with rich dark fruit flavors, velvety tannins, and bright acidity that leads to a polished, lingering finish. A cooler growing season in 2023 allowed for extended ripening, enhancing the wine’s balance, structure, and complexity.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This Zinfandel is an excellent match for braised short ribs, barbecued pork, grilled sausages, or gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce. Its bold fruit and spice also pair well with aged cheeses and savory stews.
