2009 年的 Zinfandel Old Vine 美麗迷人，濃淡適宜，帶有甜潤(rùn)的紅色漿果、花朵、香料和薄荷的味道。泥土氣息給圓潤(rùn)芬芳的余味增加了復(fù)雜感。該酒由 90% 的 Zinfandel 和 10% 的 Petie Sirah 混釀而成。預(yù)期成熟時(shí)間： 2012 至 2016 年。

Seghesio’s 2009 Zinfandel Old Vine comes across as a bit rough around the edges. It has good balance, but less in the way of complexity or true nuance. Raspberries, tobacco, dried herbs and crushed flowers emerge over time, but the 2009 remains a bit bombastic. The 2009 incorporates dollops of Petite Sirah and Carignane. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. Tel. (707) 433-3579

As chewy and umami, salty delicious as a mouthful of crunchy bacon. Throw in dried blackberries and blueberries, with a touch of smoky new oak, and that describes this fantastically pure, addictively good Zinfandel. The grape sourcing is from old vineyards in the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Truly a great Zin, and relatively easy to find, with 9,000 cases produced.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 94
