Tried this new arrival from Carlisle last night:
1. Carlisle Zin DCV/SonomaCnty (15.0%; 98% OV Zin + 2% PetiteSirah; 290 cs) 2022: Med.color; very strong classic DCVlly Zin/spicy/raspberry rather pencilly/oak quite fragrant/attractive straightforward DCV Zin nose; lightly tart/tangy rather vanilla/pencilly/oak strong bright raspberry/spicy Zin/bit blackberry bit peppery/dusty/OV uite pleasant flavor w/ light brisk tannins; long bright raspberry/blackberry/spicy Zin finish that tracks flavor; a very bright fairly intense classic DCVlly spicy Zin at a very good price; not a profound Zin but very attractive for the price. Speaks strongly of Crlisle winemaking style.$33.00
