2015 Carlisle Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley

As for the 2015 Zinfandel Dry Creek, this exhibits more of the earthy, broader-shouldered side of Zinfandel than the less expensive Sonoma bottling. Coming from some top-notch sites, this Zinfandel (15.8% alcohol) has a dark ruby color and loads of briary berry fruit intermixed with licorice, roasted herbs and loamy soil scents. It is medium to full-bodied, lush, and best drunk over its first 4-5 years of life.
