Community Tasting Note

rldixon Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 3, 2020 - Consumed in a series of Carlisle Zins:

1. 2008 Lingenfelder
2. 2008 Sonoma County

Consumed over three nights. On night one, immediately fragrant upon opening (twist-cap, not a cork), seemingly lighter in color than the Lingenfelder, but more prominent fruit (lots of blackberry) and acidity. Lighter tannins than the Lingenfelder. Night two, the wine lost some fruit but picked up a distinct earthiness and a bit of -OH evidence--still very enjoyable. Night three, alcohol had dissipated, but the wine retained the modest fruit and earthiness, with a bit more pepper than in prior nights.
