2011 Carlisle Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard Russian River Valley

Cherry red with slight fading at rim. Bright berry nose. Bright and intense on palate, blackberry, raspberry, spice. Lovely acidity and balance. Finishes long with bramble fruits. Brighter, spicier with air. Lovely, classic Zin. Probably at or a tad past peak. Drink next 4 to 5 years. "A-"
