I didn’t make tasting notes on this huge 2017 Saldo Zinfandel by @PrisonerWineCo myself because I was too busy hoarding it for myself during this past week’s Brainstorming meeting. See below, including notes and scores by @Wine_Com @WillieBoy12 Wilfred Wong. Thankfully member Jennifer Chadwick @JChadwick999 contributed it from the @SaltCreekGrilleValencia wine list just for us to sample…and by us I mean me. Go get your own next time you’re at the restaurant. . . Winemaker Notes: Saldo doesn’t fit in, but that doesn’t matter. When you’re from “here and there” (that’s what Saldo means in Latin), you don’t need to form to one, single place. That’s the funny thing about expectations—they’re made to be broken. 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. . . Critical Acclaim Wilfred Wong of Wine.com 92 points COMMENTARY: The 2017 vintage Prisoner Wine Company Saldo Zinfandel represents what this grape variety is today. TASTING NOTES: This wine is bold, yet exhibits an excellent combination of ripe fruit and savory spices. Its richness is perfect for a pairing with a well-seasoned Porchetta.
