A Personal Visit to Sausal Winery 1/27/2011: So here we have a winery so secure with itself, because of their all estate grown, nothing under 50 year old vines, putting together a non vintage Zinfandel that no one rates under 89 points. On top of that, it sells for only $13 at the winery, I doubt very much makes it out to distribution. This is not your average every day entry level Zin. It is a little clear in color, but somewhat like a Pinot Noir, you can't judge the wine by it's color. It is not designed to be rich and creamy, more on the elegant side. It brings us Zin lovers the true boysenberry, bramble fruit in an easy drinking style. Perfectly balanced. Little or no oak, not much needed. Fruity finish.

These are non vintage but I suspect this last shipment is from a different year; not to the standards of the cats from the past, but still an excellent zin at a great price point.

Every time I taste this wine I'm blown away by how good it is for such a reasonable price.
