Carlisle 2013 Montafi Ranch Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Montafi Ranch
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Carlisle / Russian River Valley

Thick and rich, with a menthol-like streak in the background, this 89% Zin is complemented by a wealth of mixed blacks, from Alicante Bouschet to Trousseau Noir. It opens with a bouquet of fresh, brambly blackberry, raspberry and sage, reaching a powerful conclusion of brown sugar and spice, staying structured atop soft, sizable tannins. Drink now through 2020.
