Community Tasting Note

rldixon Likes this wine:

Friday, May 15, 2020 - Consumed in a series of Carlisle Zins, these are my last bottles:

1. 2008 Lingenfelder
2. 2008 Sonoma County
3. 2007 Sonoma County
4. 2007 Papera Ranch
5. 2007 Montafi Ranch
6. 2009 Montafi Ranch

Consumed over two nights.

While this wine is 11 years old, it's still young, compared to the 2007. This year has more of everything, but not too much of anything. More intensity, plums, dark cherries, earthiness/smoke, and tannins. No evidence of 15.3% -OH, nor is this wine heavy. Night one, consumed with a Margherita pizza and the combination of this wine and the garlic was perfect. Night two, more fruit and more acid to balance the fruit out. Just more intensity on night two.
