  It is possible this wine might show a little improvement with more aging. However, the fact this wine exists and performs as well as it does, given the fire and weather challenges, is a tribute to Carlisle.

  Bright crimson in color. 15% ABV. Gorgeous nose of red fruits, citrus and pepper. Medium body with mouth watering acidity. There is an abundance of bright, earthy fruits. Exceptional balance. Strawberry, cranberry, blood orange and pepper on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Delicious Zinfandel and potentially the best Sonoma County to date. The pedigree of the fruit shines through. Best over the next 2-4 years.

  Pop and pour. Aromas of boysenberry, wild cherry, huckleberry, blueberry and currant. Flavors of cherry, boysenberry, raspberry, cranberry and pepper. Ends with a nice 15-20 second finish with blue and red fruit notes.
