Sausal Winery Zinfandel Alexander Valley Century Vines 2009
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
Big black cherry, blackberry fruit greets the nose with nuanced spice notes and accents of chocolate, carob and mint. Medium-full in the mouth, this shows lovely ripe tannins adding structure under the slightly creamy black fruit and anise-toned spice flavors. There’s a nice suggestion of something minty on the palate along with a hint of cocoa. The finish shows a nice pop of fruit with oak playing a decidedly supporting role here. Decent length and a really nice raspberry cream finale show the depth. 89pts
