Saucelito Canyon, Arroyo Grande Valley (Central Coast, California) Zinfandel 2017

Sep 10, 2019

By Rich Cook

 A new opportunity for deliciousness for second generation winemaker Tom Greenough, one made possible with a new block planting of the original 1880 clone that made the label famous among Zin lovers.  It’s light, fresh vibe is a fun alternative to the old vine classic, with bold cherry and cedar spice aromas enticing, leading to a palate of candied fruit and spice that lingers pleasantly.  In a way, it’s a look back in time to when the original vineyard was in its youth.  That’s even more fun!
