The Prisoner - Saldo Zinfandel 2008 (750ml) Bandol pasted claudias plums and driedThe 2008 Saldo is rich, ripe, and full bodied, with aromas of black cherry and bramble fruit. The tannins are soft but the wine has a huge mid palate. The soft, lush finish lingers. 2008 was a perfect vintage for Saldo. The hot weather was ideal for creating ripe zinfandel. CRITICAL ACCLAIM 91 points Wine Spectator *Top 100 of 2010* Well built, yet rich and stylish, with spicy blackberry aromas and zesty, layered flavors of black cherry and licorice
