2007 CARLISLE ZINFANDEL

6-750 ml bottles each –18 bottles total 

One of California’s most compelling success stories is Mike Officer’s conversion from full-time software developer to full-time guardian of old vine Zinfandel vineyards and world-class producer of artisinal wines. Carlisle is a hugely successful winery, not only because of outstanding customer service, but because of the simple fact that it delivers great wines at extremely fair prices.

Carlisle Papera Ranch Zinfandel

A real knockout! It is bold and intense, yet complex, with ripe cherry fruit deftly balanced by vibrant acidity. This Zin offers floral aromas with notes of black raspberry, pepper and lingering Asian spice that lead to full but fleshy tannins. WS 96

Carlisle Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

This is what great Dry Creek Zinfandel is all about. Sleek, with beautifully pure, focused and complex notes of black cherry, fresh earthy clay and toasty vanilla spice. The flavors build richness and depth on the finish. WS 95

Carlisle Carlisle Vineyard Zinfandel

This wine possesses a dark purple color in addition to an elegant, fresh, lively nose of red and black fruits, pepper, and spice. Full-bodied, rich, zesty, and lively, it is a stunning Zinfandel. RP 93
