Saldo Zinfandel

From the acclaimed team behind The Prisoner comes Saldo Zinfandel, a wonderfully indulgent Californian red that delivers everything lovers of bold, expressive wines could wish for. Bursting with rich blackberry, ripe black cherry and juicy plum, it is beautifully layered with hints of black pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate, espresso and warming baking spice. The palate is gloriously smooth and full-bodied, with a luscious concentration of fruit, silky tannins and a long, velvety finish. Sourced from some of California's finest Zinfandel-growing regions, Saldo combines the character of this iconic grape with the richness and polish that have made The Prisoner Wine Company so popular. Its quality has been recognised with an impressive 92 points from Wine Enthusiast for the 2018 vintage, while the 2019 vintage received 93 points from Wilfred Wong and 90 points from Wine Spectator. A fantastic wine for those who enjoy generous, powerful reds, it is the perfect partner for ribeye steak, slow-cooked beef, barbecued ribs or mature cheeses. Big, bold and irresistibly smooth – California Zinfandel at its most delicious!

The minimalistic label aesthetic makes Saldo appear simple at first glance, but these descriptors do not speak to the wine in the bottle. The brand name translation of to join or weld speaks to all the effort, love and precision they put into making this wine so it can be effortlessly enjoyed.

Tasting 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.
