9.2

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, black cherries, cedar, light vanilla, milk chocolates, light earth, tobacco, black pepper and mediterranean spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, light cedar, cherries, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, black pepper, herbs and light green tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, cherries and peppercorn.

This 6 year old Single Vineyard Zinfandel from Sonoma Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich and fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and spicy.

Delicious by itself, and good right out of the bottle.

Starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years. Showing a beautiful nose already, with lots of complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 98% Zinfandel and 2% Alicante Bouschet from 100 year old vines. Aged in French and American Oak barrels for 16 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

This wine need to be served just slightly chilled, anything more takes away the pear and floral hints in the taste. Paring with cheese and crackers, fish, or pork. — 6 years ago

Not something I would want as a sipping wine, but very nice with food. Enjoyed it with a pasta dish with a lot of tomato and cream. — 6 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose with earth, spices, chocolate notes and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, espresso, herbs, green vegetables and peppercorn.

Short finish with grippy tannins and tart cranberries.

This is an interesting take on a Chianti from Alexander Valley. Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but a good food wine right now.

Showing nice complexity, but still a little grippy, once it opens up.
Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Will pair nicely with Pizza, or with Pasta with red sauce.

A field blend of Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia, and Trebbiano. Aged in used French oak barrels for 17 months. A tiny production of only 1,300 bottles.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

Tycker det är roligt att ge otrendiga druvor som zinfandel en chans ibland. Det här var nog bästa exemplet av druvan jag druckit. Vingården planterades 1972 med enbart zin (många andra i Sonoma är field blends) och vingårdsarbetet är mkt seriöst. Nästan pinot-lik upplevelse. Väldigt elegant! Rosor, kryddor, örter. Bra tannin och syra. — 5 years ago

It was election nite & i needed to count on some sort of consistency! Saldo simply never fails. Pretty tough to find a better $24 zin - maybe Seghesio or Turley Juvenile (if it’s on sale!)? Saldo is the sh*t.,. — 6 years ago

So great. Loads of ground, smoky sandstone, ripe blackberry, maple syrup. Rich, structured, so good, so balanced. My favorite Zin plot of land. — 7 years ago
