Carlisle "Papera Ranch" Zinfandel Russian River Valley 2012
"One of the larger cuvées (658 cases), the stunning 2012 Zinfandel Papera Ranch (96% Zinfandel and 4% Carignane) comes from a vineyard planted in 1934. It was aged in 25% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Copious notes of sweet black raspberries, kirsch, lavender, licorice and a touch of oak are present in this full-bodied, nicely proportioned Zinfandel that builds incrementally, and has a broad, savory texture as well as impressive purity. Drink this beauty over the next decade or more."
