  • 2012 Carlisle Zinfandel Sonoma County - USA, California, Sonoma County (3/20/2014)
    The UPS guy just dropped this off 2 1/2 minutes ago. Pobega! Pop n pour. Served at “truck temperature”. Very dark color with a purple glimmer. Good aromas of dark berries, maybe even a touch of sweetness. Wow, lots of acid and mineral elements dominate the palate. The body is light/medium. The wine has linear texture very high acidity. Berry Razzles fruit flavor but not sweet and the finish is very warming.

Dude, thanks for taking one for the team. So, overall impression: crack it soon, needs time, or what say you?

Sorry about that’s should have elaborated. Got excited I guess.

I had one glass and corked back into the refrigerator for tomorrow night. Not worried a bit about this falling apart but I’ll report back in on it. It was killed too young, no question, but still nice.

I think this will age a very long time, it’s swimming in acid, which I like.
