Saddleback Cellars Zinfandel Napa Valley Old Vines 2007
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
Nice dark, slightly pruny fruit on the nose is accented by notes of carob and cigarbox with a menthol top note. Rich on entry with good acidity and nice supportive tannins. This unfolds on the palate, remaining focused and vibrant, though quite rich with juicy red and black fruit. It’s a touch monolithic but endowed with great, pure, ripe fruit. The finish shows off flashes of briary, herb and wood spice that help to highlight the brightness of the fruit. Ends with some slightly drying, sandpapery tannins that should disappear with some time in the bottle. 88pts
