Description

Wine Advocate #199 Feb 2012 Antonio Galloni Rated 91 Drink: 2012 – 2017 (38)
The 2009 Zinfandel Home Ranch emerges from the glass with sweet black cherries, licorice, spices, tar and leather. This is a decidedly plush Zinfandel built on deep layers of fruit to match its intense, muscular personality. Home Ranch is the original Seghesio vineyard first planted in 1895. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.

Tasting Note

A Zinfandel that has it all?rich, ripe flavors, good structure and acidity, and lots of personality. Offers aromas of cherry pie and licorice that lead to complex flavors of huckleberry, toasty vanilla and smoky cracked pepper. Drink now through 2017. 2,500 cases made.
