Seghesio Family Vineyards Sonoma County Zinfandel, 2006

If this wine had been in my cellar, I would have consumed it several years ago. But it was brought to my house by a guest, and I am glad that I opened it. It is drinking quite well, better than I would expect from a 15-year-old Zinfandel.

Medium crimson. Lots of crusted sediment on one side of the bottle. Lifted scents of red raspberries and boysenberries. Flavors are fruity and intense with considerable power (15.4% alcohol) but only moderate heat. Matches perfectly with well brined porchetta.
