Special Selection

VineSugar Review:

This Zinfandel is flawless and doesn't disappoint. From the aromas, to the initial hit on the palate, through the lingering finish... perfect. Bright bing cherries, jammy blackberries and a spicebox of herbs and pepper liven your senses. Fresh, REALLY fresh wild berries hit the front palate and linger through the finish which boasts bittersweet chocolate and gushing, chewy tannins. Perfectly balanced from start to finish.

Winemaker Notes

Rachel Ann Passalacqua met Eugene "Pete" Seghesio when purchased her father's Zinfandel grapes from the San Lorenzo vineyard in southernmost Alexander Valley. In 1956 the couple was married. Seghesio Farms now manages that same vineyard, purchased in 1896 by Rachel Ann's grandfather for the sum of ten gold coins. At that time, the vineyard was already planted to and producing Zinfandel. Today, it represents our oldest plantings of Zinfandel.
