Carlisle Piner-Olivet Ranches Russian River Valley Zinfandel

2019 Vintage- Medium-dark ruby-garnet.  Very lifted, perfumed aromas of cherries, red licorice whips, sandalwood, and blood orange.  The nose provides everything you could hope for in a Russian River Valley Zinfandel.  Impeccably balanced, flavors of red cherry, mulberry, and baking spices build through the mineral-laden, zesty finish.  A beautiful wine but as a blend of Carlisle, Papera, and Montafi, how could it not be?  Give it another year in bottle and then enjoy from 2019 through 2028.
