Description
The Story Behind the Label
Seghesio has been farming Sonoma County vineyards since 1895, and its Montafi Ranch bottling reflects that deep-rooted heritage in old-vine Zinfandel. Sourced from a single, meticulously farmed vineyard, this expression showcases the concentrated character that only decades-old vines can produce — a bottle collectors buy Seghesio Zinfandel for as a benchmark example of serious single-vineyard Zinfandel.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Architecture
The glass shows a deep, inky purple-red with a dense, concentrated pour. The nose opens with ripe blackberry, black cherry, and a distinctive note of black pepper and dried herb. On the palate, expect jammy dark fruit, warm spice, and firm, well-integrated tannins, carried through to a long, robust finish driven by the wine’s elevated alcohol. It’s a wine built for intensity — best served slightly below room temperature to let its fruit and spice fully unfold.
Allocation & Rarity Context
Demand for old-vine, single-vineyard Zinfandel continues to grow as collectors seek out wines with more depth and pedigree than blended, multi-vineyard bottlings. Collectors who buy Seghesio Zinfandel often do so by the case, adding it to cellars built around bold reds and allocated spirits alike. Our vault sources directly through authenticated distribution channels to ensure full bottle legitimacy and freshness.
