Is Alexander Valley's oldest wine making family. Beginning with Leo Demostene, in 1956, converting an apple and prune orchard into a vineyard, Sausal is now in its third generation of winemaking. Their experience shows with such favorites as their century old Zinfandel made from a three and a half-acre block of 129-year-old vines. The Connoisseur's Guide to California Wines rated the 2003 Old Vine Zinfandel at an outstanding 96 points. An excellent Family Zin from 60 yr old vines and a superb Private Reserve from 90 yr old vines are also recommended feature tastings. A lot of experience is gained after three generations of winemaking. Mix this experience with the maturity of the vineyard, and you have a perfect balance of knowledge and pleasure. Come experience their fine wines at Sausal Winery. And watch out for the cat on your way in; he blends into the black rug.
