I sincerely think that if I had to pick only one wine to have for the rest of my life (that I could afford to purchase for myself), it might be my adored Sausal Cellar Cats Red Zinfandel.
UPDATE 1-3 -13: It was with a heavy, heavy heart that we learned a few months ago that our beloved Sausal has been sold by the Demostene family to Silver Oak. We honestly pray that Silver Oak understands what they've purchased. Sausal's century Zinfandel vines are precious and beautiful. They were on the property when Leo and Rose Demostene purchased the land in 1956. Many of the original vines were included on an 1877 atlas of the area. Our final shipment of closeout Sausal wines arrived here in Bogart yesterday: two cases. My little "DonDon always loves Cellar Cats" song and dance is now performed sadly and with a tear in my eye. Each of these last bottles will be dearly appreciated. Sincere thanks and best wishes to the Demostene family.
