The 2019 Saldo Zinfandel gushes forward with excellent power without taking over the palate. This remarkable wine offers a lasting impression of palate pleasures. This wine offers alluring aromas and flavors of black fruit, savory spices, licorice, and oak. Serve it with roast duck topped with a cassis sauce. (Tasted: February 15, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Winemaker Notes
Dark ruby color with bold aromas of black licorice, black pepper, cherry, and baking spice. The entry is rich, full, and scintillating. The palate is mouthwatering and smooth with a hint of chocolate. The finish is voluptuous with soft, velvety tannins.

Blend: 85% Zinfandel; 15% Blend of Petite Sirah and Syrah
