A sensational nose of boysenberry and brambles jump from the glass to captivate the senses. Hints of pomegranate, citrus, and black pepper add further complexity. Sizeable in structure and weight, the black fruit character predominates and is wonderfully balanced by the tanginess of citrus. Hints of clove and wood spices add a perfume and levity to the bouquet. Refreshing and balanced, this wine highlights what old-vine Zinfandel is all about.
2022 Saitone Estate Vineyard Zinfandel
Reviews
96 / James Suckling
An elegant, even nervy style of zinfandel that owes a lot to its vivid acidity and freshly crushed berry flavors. With a pH of 3.4 giving it brightness and freshness, you’d hardly know it’s full-bodied, over 15% alcohol. Made from a vineyard first planted in 1895 and using fruit from some of these oldest vines. Drink now or hold. – J.G.
