I like the Saldo almost as much as I like the Prisoner red blend. It's a little heavier but it has a really nice smoky flavor that I love to pair with richer red meats such as short ribs. It's a slower drink than the red blend but I still highly recommend.

Product description
An unexpected yet artful wine, Saldo Zinfandel Red Wine by The Prisoner Wine Company offers dense concentration of flavor backed by good acidity. This red California wine features outstanding fruit from premier Northern California vineyards in the Dry Creek, Lodi, and Amador regions, where zinfandel grapes have thrived for decades. Made with a mix of zinfandel, petite sirah, and syrah red grapes masterfully welded together with love and precision, this red wine opens with intriguing and bold aromas of black licorice, black pepper, cherry, and baking spice. Each mouthwatering sip of this dark red wine is rich, full, and scintillating, with a hint of chocolate, leading to a smooth, voluptuous finish with soft, velvety tannins. Barrel aging in a combination of old and new, French and American oak barrels brings out the full flavors of this delicious red wine, adding to its exquisitely smooth palate. Pair this food-friendly Saldo zinfandel with grilled steaks, aged cheddar or provolone, pasta with red sauce, charcuterie, and a variety of spicy dishes, or enjoy a glass of wine on its own. For best taste, store this wine at room temperature but chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Please enjoy our wines responsibly. © 2023 The Prisoner Wine Company, Oakville, CA

amanbruh Reviewed at influenster.comReviewed at influenster.comharmoniw1 Reviewed at influenster.comReviewed at influenster.comThis is good. Definitely drink it Ice cold! Taste much better. Great for girls night or casual sipping
micheler46 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comIt is always a treat to get a glass of Saldo. I first tried it at a wine tasting event. I loved it. Whenever I see it at the store I get a bottle. It makes a great gift too. If you don't know what bottle to buy for someone else- this will not disappoint.
stephaniew218 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comI was a little disappointed in this one, I am a huge fan of the red blend and I love a good Zin. While this was still a good wine I can't say for the price it was worth it, I think there are others that would come higher on the list.
julier146 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comThis wine pairs with everything! It is great on its own, but can also stand up to a steak dinner with filling sides. This wine is very smooth and always such a crowd pleased. People are shocked to hear that this is a Zinandel. I always have a few extra bottles of this at home. The simple typed label makes it easily recognizable to purchase in the store. It is a simple looking wine bottle, but definitely not simple tasting.
gabriellek21 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comGreat Vin de soif — it goes as well with pizza as it does on its own with friends. Doesn't need a lot of time to aerate and is a good value for the price. Buy now, drink now!
ronans1 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comI love this wine! This is a total crowd pleaser as it has a beautiful label, complex flavor that is beautifully paired with food or can easily stand alone as a wine to drink without anything else in a supporting role. All in all a very enjoyable wine.
annea38 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comThis is one of my husband's and my absolute favorite Zins. It has a smooth finish and a robust but not overpowering flavor. The price is good for the quality and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good red wine to pair with their meal.
jaderiffic Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comThis is an absolutely stunning red. Bold flavors and great body will stand up to strong flavors. Can't go wrong with Prisoner wines.
casey9717 Reviewed at cbrands.comReviewed at cbrands.comMy favorite Zinfandel! First, look at that sleek bottle and label, so understated and love having it out when I have guests. And the juice, my lord!! It's a little on the pricey side, but I just buy in bulk when I can get a discount.
