Always a great value and great wine. This is Carlisle's basic (not single vineyard) Zinfandel. It is 48% Sonoma Valley Zinfandel, Pagani Ranch 18% Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Teldeschi Ranch 17% Russian River Valley Zinfandel, Carlisle Vineyard and 17% Sonoma Valley Zinfandel, Old Hill Ranch. Purple in color with ruby hues, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is deep with black cherries, black raspberries, camphor, bramble and spice. Medium to full bodied. Great acidity and balance. Medium tannins. On the palate, this is tasty with flavors of black cherries, slight coffee, spice and light char. Good finish. This is very nice on its own and will work with many (not sea food) foods. A great Pizza or Burger wine.
