Saldo Zinfandel by The Prisoner 2022

The Saldo Zinfandel 2022 is a bold and expressive red blend that lives up to its name, which means "to join" or "to weld" in Latin. This vintage is a meticulous "assemblage" of fruit sourced from over 100 premier vineyards across Northern California. On the nose, it presents intense aromas of black licorice, black pepper, and ripe dark cherries. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering mouthwatering flavors of blackberry and chocolate integrated with soft, velvety tannins. It is aged for approximately 9 to 10 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (about 25–30% new), which contributes a subtle vanilla spice to its voluptuous, lingering finish.
