  Crimson in color. 15.4% ABV. Heady nose of red fruits, licorice and citrus. Medium body with ample acidity. Incredibly plush and rich. Cherry, raspberry liqueur, blood orange and a hint of white pepper on the palate. A little more over the top than anything I would normally expect from a Mike Officer Zinfandel. Best over the next year or so.

  Very solid showing. The intensity and structure is all there, this was delicious. Good now, could hold a bit longer but this is in the zone.

  Delicious rich fruited field blend Zin, drinking nicely..
  
  Nose is dusty OVZ; bramble fruits; blackberry/black cherry/zinberries; baking spice.
  
  Palate is rich black and red fruit; berry pie; berry liqueur; broad spiced black fruit character. Long finish; low mid tannin; low mid acidity; full body.
  
  Killer pagani, gentled with bottle age, but plenty energetic.

  Another wonderful bottle of Carlisle Zin. Great structure, full bodied and well balanced. Dark fruits with plums, oak and cassis. Opened for 30 minutes.
