The 2018 Zinfandel Papera Ranch captures all the exuberance of Russian River Valley. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and cedar build in a sumptuous, creamy Zinfandel that is showing so well today. Bright red toned fruit and sweet floral notes saturate the finish effortlessly. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well with minimal cellaring. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2021)

OK…been quite a while since my last Carlisle…Idiot…simply nothing better on a warm summer evening than Smash-Burgers and kick-ass Zin. Smooth, silken blackfuited glory. 15 ABV? Shit yeah when the fruit is so gloriously presented. Pure juicy goodness… still too young, but oh so deeply satisfying. Note to self: open more Carlisle… young, old, who cares?
