Featured Wines
Last year's inaugural release of Dave Phinney's Saldo Zinfandel impressed us with with vibrantly ripe fruit, toasty oak and enormously crowd-pleasing style. The 2008 is even better. A more "complete" wine, it delivers all of the hedonistic fireworks of the '07 with finer structure, balance and complexity. No need to take our word for it though... we'll have it open for tasting through the weekend.
Wine Spectator 2/2/10 - "[one] of my favorites from the ZAP tasting... Orin Swift Saldo California 2008 - a cousin to The Prisoner, Saldo is a hearty yet stylish Zin, with rich and supple flavors framed by toasty oak."
2008 Orin Swift Cellars, "Saldo," Zinfandel, California $27.99
Gaining experience and contacts in the Northern California Zinfandel growing community through the success of his Prisoner label, Orin Swift Cellars owner/winemaker Dave Phinney has gained access to some of the best Zinfandel vineyards in California. Dave recently decided he wanted to make a high quality Zinfandel and what he created did not fit the constraints of a single AVA.
The term "saldo" has many different meanings in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. In Spanish it mainly refers to "balance on hand", and sometimes it can mean "from here and there". This wine represents the best of the best lots made by Dave from vineyards all across Northern California.
