This is a medium to dark violet, clear wine. The nose is of dark fruits as well as the flavors. There are elements of boysenberry, briar, cherries, black pepper, and bay leaf. There's some gamey elements along with some big tannins. The body is is ample with a firm consistency. The finish is persistent with some bitterness. This is a good wine, as is everything that Mike Officer and his crew makes at Carlisle, but it's not my favorite vineyard out of their portfolio.

Much rounder in profile than most of Mike's Zins, great red and blue fruits, raspberry, cherry injected with vanilla, clove, toasted oak with great balance and medium+ finish. Very nice and I'm happy to have a few more bottles. This was a pop and pour and ready to go out of the gate.
