Seghesio Family Vineyards Cortina Zinfandel 2023 Review
Seghesio Family Vineyards has been in operation since the late 19th century, since Edoardo Seghesio and his partner Angela planted their first Zinfandel vines in Sonoma County. Today, Zinfandel is still part of the family’s pride and joy, as the winery produces a full lineup of different Zinfandel expressions. We were particularly impressed with the Cortina bottling from the Dry Creek Valley. It has peppery wild berries on the nose with wafts of black olives and soil. The mouthfeel has a welcoming depth with more savory spices on the palate. The balance of this wine is spectacular.
