Carlisle, Sonoma County, Zinfandel 2002

Red.

Sweet red cherry, earth/loam, spice and subtle oak nose.

Quite round and plush in the mouth, with a textural sweetness nicely balanced by an edge of acidity that hits the front teeth. Not complex, but easy to enjoy. A big wine, BTW (15.8% alcohol), that sommeliers will love.

Opened yesterday (all acid structure)

$25
