Product Description:

"Seghesio Old Vine Zinfandel blends the finest lots from vineyards planted between 1920 and 1950 on the benchlands of the Dry Creek and western Alexander valleys. Although “old vine” is often loosely interpreted in the wine industry, our benchmark is 50 years. True old vine Zinfandel is distinguished by dry-farmed, thick, gnarled trunks and is planted with historic clones dating back to the years before Prohibition. In each of these old blocks, vines of Carignane and/or Petite Sirah are interplanted, as was typical of the era.

Deeply perfumed aromas of dark berries and old vine Zin’s intrinsic briary spiciness Layered bright fruit flavors reminiscent of a rich berry pie with a toasted crust Old vine Zinfandel’s complex spice undertones." -Winery
