Introduction:
The Prisoner Saldo Zinfandel is a beautifully balanced wine crafted from Zinfandel grapes carefully harvested from vineyards in California’s North Coast and Central Valley. Through long-standing relationships with grower partners, many of whom have been working with the winery for generations, The Prisoner ensures that only the best quality grapes are sourced. The wine is fermented on skins for texture, structure, and color, and aged for 10 months in American oak barrels, resulting in a juicy, spice-driven Zinfandel that pairs wonderfully with bold flavors.
Tasting Notes:

- Finish: Bold and flavorful, with a smooth, lingering finish
