Seghesio

October 1, 2021

Today we honor one of California’s great houses for Zinfandel. One of the premier houses for Zinfandel in North America, the Seghesio family has been involved in wine for more than 120 years. In 1895 Italian immigrant and winemaker Edoardo Seghesio planted his first Zinfandel vineyard in what is now Seghesio’s Home Ranch Vineyard in Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley. Edoardo and his wife Angela survived Prohibition as one of roughly100 wineries to survive that era. Following prohibition, Seghesio sold bulk wine and it was only under 4th generation owner, Ted Seghesio when a focus on premium wines evolved. In a short period of time, Seghesio became synonomous with some of the highest quality and good Zinfandel available on the retail market. Their success lead to the 2011 sale of Seghesio Family Vineyards to Crimson Wine Group. 

Today their wines are as good as ever. A serious value, the 2019 Seghesio ‘Sonoma’ Zinfandel (OB, 91) will cater to a range of palates and is a killer food wine that will match with a juicy burger or steak. Refined and utterly fantastic even in its youth, the 2019 ‘Cortina’ Zinfandel (OB, 93) is silky and elegant with seriously good flavor range. Learn more about these outstanding Zinfandel wines at seghesio.com and here are the beautiful new wines by Seghesio.


2019 Seghesio ‘Sonoma’ Zinfandel-  A blend of 88% Zinfandel has a touch of Petite Sirah and mixed red wines blended in, with a dash of Alicante Bouchet. Soft, round and generous with a silky texture this delivers plenty of roasted fig and ripe red cherry flavors alongside a bright sense of minerality. Enjoy this outstanding value over the next eight years. Drink 2021-2029- 91


2019 Seghesio ‘Cortina’ Zinfandel- Sourced from the Dry Creek Valley, the 2019 ‘Cortina’ is downright delicious to savor in its youth. Deeply concentrated, with a great veil of tension, this delivers plenty of black plum, blueberry pie and espresso bean flavors with an exceedingly long finish. Refined and also quite viscous, this has a long way to go in the cellar. Drink 2021-2033- 93
