Mission Codename A Family Affair
Seghesio is consistently one of California’s top Zinfandel producers, making lusty, full-throttled, spicy, and delicious old vine Zins from a collection of vineyards that date back to the late 1800’s. Their latest 2012 Old Vine is fantastic. It captures the exotic warm climate ripeness of Zin, the grape’s spiciness, tip-top French oak barrels, and a sense of balance that feels very Italian-American. A wine that drinks well at the table, but will also outshine most Zins in a head to head.
Robert Parker 92 Points, Dec 2014
“The 2012 Zinfandel Old Vine comes from vines that are at least 50-years-old. It offers oodles of black cherry and blackcurrant fruit along with spice box, pepper and fruitcake notes. Full-bodied, heady and complex, it is the most multidimensional of these 2012 Zinfandels. It is ideal for drinking over the next 4-5 years.”
