The 2023 Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel is a classic California Zinfandel from Sonoma County, crafted as a blend of predominantly Zinfandel with small portions of Petite Sirah and other varieties to enhance depth and structure. It reflects the producer’s long-standing expertise in creating bold yet balanced expressions of the grape. The nose is bright and expressive, offering red raspberry, blackberry and plum, layered with hints of spice, pepper and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a juicy, supple texture and lively acidity. Ripe red and dark fruit flavours are complemented by spice and gentle oak, leading to a smooth, balanced and lingering finish. The style is fruit-forward yet polished, combining richness with freshness and easy drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a go-to Sonoma Zinfandel for customers seeking a reliable, value-driven red with bold fruit and smooth texture. It’s ideal for casual drinking or pairing with hearty dishes. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with BBQ, burgers, pasta or grilled meats.
