Tasting notes
From a site that may soon be lost to housing development, the 2016 Zinfandel Salvador Vineyard is a lovely wine, bursting with scents of ripe cherries, cassis, plums and a subtle framing of oak. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated on the palate, it displays considerable density and depth, with an ample core of sweet, juicy fruit, framed by satiny tannins.

The 2016 Zinfandel Salvador Vineyard is another gorgeous Contra Costa County wine. Expressive floral and savory notes add aromatic nuance to the succulent red cherry and plum fruit. Deep, resonant and super-expressive, the 2016 is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Tasted from barrel, the 2016 is absolutely delicious. There is so much personality and character here.
