Carlisle Description
Tasting Note:
Medium-dark to dark ruby-garnet. An intense, brooding nose of red and black fruits with blood orange, clove, and a hint of framboise liqueur. On the palate, full-bodied, verging on muscular, with flavors of red cherry, plum, and licorice. Like most of our 2020s, age worthy. In fact, the bottle opened for this tasting note was still fresh as a daisy after four days. Drink this bad boy from 2025 to 2035.
Food Pairing:
Lamb
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Few Zinfandels show this much nuance and detail, yet there's an elegant power to this red, with cherry and raspberry flavors that mingle with orange peel and fresh sage. Ends with refined tannins.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
The 2020 Zinfandel Papera Ranch is ripe with fresh berries, raspberry preserve, and baking spice. Its gushy fruit up front gives way to a note of raspberry seed and refreshing lift on the finish. Drink 2023-2032.
