Zinfandel

This remains my favorite wine in the Carlisle line-up.  Purple in color with a ruby rim, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is great with black cherries, raspberries, nutmeg and other spices and slight char.  Lush texture!  Great energy and balance.  On the palate, this is young but delicious.  Flavors of black cherries, black raspberries and red raspberries.  Long finish.  This is great on its own and will work with bigger foods.  A nice choice with ribs or a (veggie) Burger off the grill.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  

Always one of my favorite Bedrock Zins.  Purple in color with a ruby rim, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, some plums, cocoa and spice.  Medium to full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good balance.  Nice "jelly"texture.  On the palate, this drinks easy.  Flavors of cherries, black raspberries and black pepper.  Long finish.  Drink over the next ten years.  Nice on its own.  Also, a nice choice with Pasta.  

Carlisle continues its slow closure as a winery.  They will be missed.  This is from their home vineyard.  From their web site, this wine is 87% Zinfandel
