2018 Carlisle Alicante Bouschet

Another deep, rich 2018, the 2018 Alicante Bouschet Pagani Ranch sports a saturated purple color as well as blockbuster aromas and flavors of blue fruits, scorched earth, pepper, and earth. Young and unevolved, yet with beautiful purity, ripe, integrated tannins, and a great finish, drink this mouthful of a red over the coming 7-8 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve longer.
