Seghesio Sonoma County 2014 Zinfandel,
$18.95-$25.99, 91 points, poured core black with deep maroon colors, a broad clear wine ring, and modest legs.
Aromas were rather shy bramble blackberries and juniper.
Medium-bodied with bright acidity and mild sufficient tannin carried rich flavors of black licorice, cherry cola, plum, and a very spicy medley of pepper.
Finished long on the trailing palate, hints of marzipan and eucalyptus with a spot-on 14.8% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with our burgers.
Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel always exceeds expectations, and the 2014 is no different.

Ah, one of my go to Zins, although, it has been eclipsed lately by The Federalist. Marzipan vibe sounds lovely (even though I don't like marzipan, I like that almond-thing in wine).
ReplyDeleteVG: You have the Dry Creek Federalist, all we have here is the Lodi. I really didn't like the Plungerhead Lodi, but the Dry Creek was another animal altogether (liked very much), and I'm assuming, extrapolating the same for the Federalist Zins.
