Tasting:  Saldo Zinfandel  

Name: Saldo

Variety: Zinfandel  

Region:  Sonoma Valley California

Country: USA

Winery Review: The 2019 Zinfandel gushes forward with excellent power without taking over the palate. This remarkable wine offers a lasting impression of palate pleasures. This wine offers alluring aromas and flavors of black fruit, savory spices, licorice. And oak. Serve it with roast duck topped with cassis sauce. (93- Wine.com)

Wine Folly:  Pg 189 A fruit-forward yet bold red that’s loved for its jammy fruit and smokey, exotic spice notes. It also has a blackberry and strawberry taste and aroma. This is also ideal with Turkish, Moroccan, and Arabic cuisine, which bring out the grape’s cinnamon like spices.

My review: The aromas from this wine was fruity and woody. The fruity flavors I could smell are blackberry and strawberry. Now this wine tased fantastic. This wine had a little spice to it but also had a great fruity flavor with strawberry and blackberry. This wine also had an oak buttery taste as well. It also had a very smooth finish. This was my favorite zinfandel wine I’ve tasted so far. I am usually not a fan of red wines, but this was just too good. I highly recommend trying this wine.   

 

I had no food when tasting

I was back in a quaint German village enjoying a glass of wine with the natives. This wine was bold, yet smooth. One of the best fresh and fruity Rhine wines I have had with a price that screams, "Try Me". This Liebfraumilch has become a staple. It is perfect with any meal or on its own (2019 Rachel) Wine Folly: pg238 in general Liebfraumilch is a cheap, sweet and a typically a white wine. Pg 21 white wines are typically on the lower end of the Ph scale. My review: This wine German wine is really good. It is on the cheap side, but it does not taste like a cheap wine. It is a little to sweet for me but still a very good wine. On the bottle it says you should chill before serving and I recommend doing that. It tastes better when chilled
