Community Tasting Note

rldixon Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - Consumed in a series of Carlisle Zins:

1. 2008 Lingenfelder
2. 2008 Sonoma County
3. 2007 Sonoma County

I'm drinking my "last bottles" and this one is was delicious, seemingly at its peak. The constant I've found in Carlisle wines is balance: there's never *too much* of anything, and this wine is a good example of that.

Consumed over two nights. On night one, noted much less aroma than the 2008 on unscrewing the cap, but the tastes were prominently, but not overwhelmingly, cherries and pepper and soil, what I love about Zins. Silky tannins. On night two, there was just a bit more of everything from night one, particularly the earthiness, so much so that I was a bit wistful this was my last bottle of this one.
