RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

Big and juicy...complex and layered expression of black cherry, cardamom and chocolate. Rich from start to finish, it satisfies as it calls out for smoky meat.

91Wine Spectator

Bold and expressive, with black cherry and violet aromas and zesty dark plum, licorice and cracked pepper flavors.

90-92Robert M. Parker Jr.

...loads of briary berry fruit intermixed with licorice, roasted herbs and loamy soil scents. It is medium to full-bodied, lush...

89-92Vinous / IWC

... Pliant, rich and expressive, with tons of Dry Creek savory and mineral notes...wonderfully complete. Dried herbs, tobacco, licorice and dried flowers add striking nuance to this tasty, appellation-level Zinfandel from Carlisle.

TYPE

Red Wine, Zinfandel

Zinfandel is a black-skinned grape, but 85% of the wine produced is made into a rosy “White Zinfandel.” Red Zin is far more complex and bold, while still being light-bodied. It grows in popularity as winemakers continue to experiment with new styles and blends.
