Have never related a wine's taste to candy and don't plan to. Well, unless it's a Chocolate Port.....

2007 Seghesio Family Vineyards Zinfandel Sonoma County
(2008-12-17 03:56:30 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Seghesio Family Vineyards Zinfandel Sonoma County 89/100

Got this wine to check out the good press in the Wine Spectator, perhaps it could become a good Zinfandel for casual dinner parties and such. I agree with the other posts that I wouldn't goive it a 93, but it is a solid Zin and I'll get a few more bottles. Interesting, how do ya score a wine that so called experts give a 93 and ya don't think it's quite so breathtaking. Still a very good value.

Good for the price. Backyard red wine.

This wine begs for food. A little acidic, ready to drink, well balanced.

I agree with the tasting notes.

2006 Castiglioni Chianti

I felt good about this wine at this price point. Nothing special, but went well with take-out Italian on the patio...

2005 Spier 'Vintage Selection' Sauvignon Blanc

The blending of Chardonnay and Viognier balance the acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc very well. Crisp and slightly acidic.

2006 Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc

Crisp, lots of grapefruit, not as acidic as some other Sauvignon Blancs, sour finish. Would have again with salad or seafood.

2006 Unti Barbera

Deep purple color, fruity nose, noticable acidity that goes well with food. Very drinkable as a young wine.

2003 Villa Antinori

I also got this at a bargain price for which it was great deal. Dark rich color, tannins are ever present but not dominate. Tad sour on the finish. Begs for pairing with a steak or a tomatoe based dish.
