The Prisoner Wine Company Saldo Shiraz 2021

You should count on some pretty aromatic evolution with this bottle in the next years to come

she returned to the Driftless region to work exclusively with cold-hardy grape varieties

with loads of zesty minerality

Let me explain

It was the time of the Three Big R’s of Zinfandel’s revival – Ravenswood

wild strawberry and spices

giving the wine a sense of freshness despite its slightly wild streak

Exceptional wine

Shunned by wine-cognoscenti as “not Hermitage”

old school Napa Cabernet nose of darker currants

It speaks of years spent maturing in charred oak barrels

but clearly more authoritative and built for patience
