Carlisle Russian River Valley Zinfandel Carlisle Vyd. 2002

Deep red.

Lifted, crushed red and black raspberry, earth and spice nose. Fresh, great nose.

Sweet, creamy entry, raspberry repeats in the mouth. Great depth of fruit, seamless and spunky throughout. Acid-driven structure frames flavors without intruding. Just lacks significant complexity ...

Need to latch onto a few bottles of Two Acres and Three Birds.

Day 3 - A bit more integrated in all respects, but also a bit less lively. Drink it.
