Carlisle 2013 Pagani Ranch Alicante Bouschet (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Pagani Ranch
Variety: Alicante Bouschet California
Winery: Carlisle / Sonoma Valley

The fact that this variety is still in the ground in the county says something; the fact that’s it’s still in the confines of Pagani Ranch says even more. In this ode to generations gone by, the grower and winemaker find common ground in showcasing a big-bodied, black-purple expression of fig, plum and grippy leather that lands softly on the palate.
