Tasting - Saldo Zinfandel 2021

  



 Name: Saldo Zinfandel

Variety: 85% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah and Syrah

Region: Napa Valley, California

Country: United States of America

Year: 2021

Price: $35



Winemaker's Notes: "Aromas of ripe red cherry, black cherry, blackberry, black pepper and baking spice. ON the palate, vibrant fruit, spice, and a hint of chocolate."

Personal Review: This past Friday, the Vintage Cellar hosted a couple wine reps from The Prisoner Wine Company out in Napa Valley and had a special tasting event where one could have 6 of the different Prisoner wines and wines from their subsidiaries. Luckily, employees get to take some of the wines home if they still have a little left. My friends and I were going to make steak dinners after I got back home, so I thought this would be a great pairing! The large fruit flavors were a nice accent to the salty and savory seasoning on the steak, and contrasted nicely with the spicy southwestern salad we made as a side.
