Carlisle 2007 Carlisle Vineyard Zinfandel

Carlisle Winery continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and the 2007 vintage has produced some of their best Zinfandel wines to date. The yields were higher this year for the Carlisle Vineyard Zinfandel, resulting in a more balanced sugar level vs. the other ripeness parameters. This version is made up of 92% Zinfandel and the rest Carignane, Alicante and Grand Noir. The final blend was aged in all French oak, 25% new, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Robert Parker scored this between 92-94 points and Tim Fish of Wine Spectator gave it an outstanding rated score of 92 points.

Mike Officer proprietor of Carlisle Winery describes his 2007 Carlisle Vineyard Russian River Valley Zinfandel as follows:

“Dark garnet-ruby. Classic Carlisle Vineyard aromas of spring flowers, mulberries, raspberries, and briar. Rich and full on entry with fine-grained tannins and zesty acidity supporting the vibrant, mineral-laced berry flavors. It appears that our hard work in the vineyard is paying off as each vintage of this wine improves over the previous one. Certainly drinkable now, but peak drinking should be 2011 through 2018.”

Sales pricing valid until February 16, 2010.
