Like the rest of the 2012 zins from Carlisle, this is drinking very well at the moment. Terrific layers of dark blue and sweet red fruits, a sprinkling of warm spice top notes, and a long, succulent finish. This in a fantastic wine.

Big mouth full of fruit. Very well-balanced, and good acidity for Zinfandel.

Young and tight on PnP. With air this opens up with layers of bright red fruit and some bramble. I think this has room to improve.
