Saldo's bottle looks like it was decorated with a label maker. The minimalist bottle style has a certain appeal, but I really like reading wine labels so it doesn't work for me. The wine is a mix of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, which the company says is "approachable and serious." The alcohol level is a ripe 15% abv and the wine sells for $32, as does the Zinfandel.
This wine is extremely dark with notes on the nose of black cherry, anise, smoke and spice. The palate is rich and dark, showing blackberry, licorice, allspice, cinnamon and black pepper. The finish is not too long, but it is full of sweet oak spice while it's there. The tannins are a bit toothy until it has been open for a while.
