Grand Cru Zinfandel - 2013 Carlisle Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard Sonoma Valley

15.9% abv. Medium purple-red, very aromatic. Raspberry, cassis, boysenberry, a hint of mint and a touch of black pepper. Medium bodied, but with excellent depth and length. Entering a drinking window now that should last for many years. Grand Cru Zinfandel. (95 points)

Mike O is a friend and a non-profit colleague. I usually restrain myself from posting on Carlisle wine.

I’ll add Montafi Ranch to that list.
