May 16, 2020 - Consumed in a series of Carlisle Zins, these are my last bottles:
1. 2008 Lingenfelder
2. 2008 Sonoma County
3. 2007 Sonoma County
4. 2007 Papera Ranch
5. 2007 Montafi Ranch
6. 2009 Montafi Ranch
7. 2009 Gold Mine Ranch
While still delicious, this version is lighter in color, weight, and flavor than the previous Zins in this series. Consumed over two nights. Heavy sediment on the cork, with little aroma on opening. This wine took over an hour to open up. Lighter fruit, well balanced with mild acidity and tannins. After a bit, spicy pepper definitely emerged. On the second night, this wine was "rounder" and stood up nicely to the asian chili pasta I craved. -
