Seghesio Family Vineyards has a special place in California wine history as one of the original producers of Zinfandel, dating back to 1895 when Italian immigrant Edoardo Seghesio planted his first vines in the Alexander Valley. With his wife Angela he began building up the winery and making wines for the local market. Miraculously, the couple were able to keep operating during Prohibition by selling grape juice and supplying bulk wine to other producers.
Today this legacy continues with over 300 acres of vineyards across Sonoma, including Dry Creek, Alexander and Russian River Valleys. As well as having the oldest Sangiovese vines in the US, they’re also blessed with many Zinfandel vines that are 50 to 100 years old. This enables them to produce succulent, concentrated reds like this Cortina Zinfandel.
Fruit for this special cuvee comes primarily from the Chen Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley which was planted in 1972 on sandy soils near a river. This generates cooling morning fog and breezes which help cool the vineyard in the hot summer months. The result is a powerful, intense wine that’s bursting with crushed dark berries, warm winter spice, and cocoa with a slight savoury edge.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
