I smoked a beef brisket yesterday and opened a bottle of 2008 Orin Swift Saldo California Zinfandel. This is a blend of a number of differnet vineyards from a number of California AVA's. Dark reddish purple in the glass. Nose of fresh crushed berries, sage and bramble. Deep, ripe berry flavors on the palate,a bit of black pepper and spice, quite fresh and fruity on the palate but not cloying. I enjoyed it with the smoked brisket. "B+"
