2010 Carlisle Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard

A gorgeous wine with a lot of life ahead of it. Beautiful nose of blackberry fruit. Simply lovely deep fruit, blackberry a hint of raspberry. Firm tannins and great acidity. Just beautiful balance. This wine is all about the fruit, but without being cloying at all. A long and lovely finish with just a hint of black pepper. Gosh darn, this is lovely stuff! With grilled ribeyes and roasted vegetables. No need to rush to drink this one. It will last for a few more years and probably improve. "A"
