Unintentionally opened >90 minutes. Delightful, expressive, no raisins or even much plumminess, just pure brambleberry. Last bottle, and one of the best. Clearly at peak - but don't wait too much longer!

Perfect summer day. Opened and poured - smooth velvety creamy zin at open, very dark drimson with tinges of bricking. Dark brooding nose of black, blue and deep red fruits....jammy muted nose but what's there is very good. Turning a wee bit sour with air, fleshing the strawberry tones over humid acetylene clouds. Keeping the round frame, flavors muting a bit.

Delicious Zin. All the fruit with more refinement and better integrated. Drinking so nicely now but in no hurry.

So very interesting when you get to taste these wines from multiple winemakers from the same source/vineyard. Carlisle really nailed it!
