About This Wine
A Zinfandel Family With The 'Midas Touch'
When Edoardo Seghesio first planted Zinfandel in California's Alexander Valley in 1895, Zinfandel was the "boss" grape of Sonoma County. Thriving in the California sun, Zinfandel reminded many of the area's Italian immigrants of the fruit-forward wines they'd enjoyed with every meal in their homeland.
As Seghesio's family grew, so did his Zinfandel vineyards. Eventually the Seghesio family vineyards grew to more than 300 acres of estate Zinfandel in the Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. While Seghesio Family Vineyards now produce many types of wine, Zinfandel remains their passion.
That passion for Zinfandel shines through today. Seghesio Zinfandels frequently appear on Wine Spectator's Top 100 List. In fact, Robert Parker says Seghesio has the "midas touch" when it comes to Zinfandels. After all, if you've been lovingly creating Zinfandels for more than 100 years, chances are you're one of the best in the business.
