TN: 2007 Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County

Had a bottle last night with a CPK frozen pizza as I was too beat down to cook anything. This is the third bottle from a case purchased at Costco a couple of months back. First bottle was good, but the second bottle was plenty hot and jammy. Last night's example was very good. No heat at all with a really good balance of the dark fruit, tannin and pepper. For $17 a bottle this can be some killer juice. I guess bottle variation is to be expected with 70K cases of wine produced.

I've only had one bottle of Seghesio Zinfandel, I think it was '06, and I didn't like it. Very possibly bottle variation, I suppose, as it seems everybody likes the stuff

For the money Seghesio makes a fine Zin...my personal favorite is the "old vines"...sells for under $30.

Steve, the Alexander Home Ranch Vineyard is also very good and Costco carries it for $26...but it usually goes pretty fast.

For those prices, I'd rather go with Scherrer OMV zin

I don't think I ever tried one but I'll certainly be on the lookout. Thanks Bill

But you are a cheap bastard.

I've had 3 bottles of this as well and the first two were average. 3rd one was good.

I personally think that the '05 was better and even the '06. This is good, not great.
