Bright and expressive red fruit nose. Bramble and more fruit on the palate. 15.5%. Lip smacking good. Vines planted in the early 1960s.

Dark ruby red. Some floral and dried herbs notes on the nose. Slightly savory undertones. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Not overly jammy or fruity. A little gamey to start with some black cherries and plums. Some metallic notes like iron and some brown sugar too. Long and lingering. Drink till 2028.

Dry lavender, herbaceous, mint, blackberry jam. Nice structure and will go awhile yet.

On same tasting purchased this great Zin. Many people don’t know that Nils Venge had the first 100 point wine in Napa Valley. Saddleback is a hidden treasure with soooo much history. This will age well for years. So well balanced with great structure. 🍷🍷
