I’m between 91-92 here. Wonderful summer pairing next to the Supernova bubbles!
87zin/13petite sirah. This has everything you want in a Zinfandel but dialed back with class. I’m shocked there is this much PS because even at 11yrs, it’s not overly dark/chocolate driven/black pepper spiced. Seductive aromatics of violets, black cherry, mixed berry pie. Great acidity for a Zinfandel. Cedar, spiced red and black berry fruits. Drinking at peak. If you love elegant zin, you’re hard pressed to find a better one. A perfect wine for our TX bbq.

Not sure there is a better Zin producer, some come close but Carlisle is my Huckleberry.

Surprised by its youthfulness…dark ruby in glass with no bricking…blackberry and black cherry drift from glass and onto palate.
