Definitely an elegant zin. Great red fruits on the palate. Incredibly fresh and young. Not a hot or jammy zin. Well balanced. Cedar, small touch of vanilla, and kirsch notes. No doubt a great zin!

Dec 30th, 2017Another great Weekly Wine Committee in the books, this time hosted by Dan. Format stayed the same (1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine) and everything is guessed blind.
This has me day dreaming about what Russell Bevan's Hayne Vineyard zin from Chase Cellars tastes like! Loved the body on this...not overly jammy, but not super restrained. Peppercorn, currant, plum, blackberries.

Was distracted when I first started drinking this. Once I had settled and relaxed so had the wine (about 7 hours after pouring). Spice and nose were a little muted compared to other Carlisle Zins. Still, good structure and nice finish.

Dark black fruits, hints of spice, cocoa and vanilla, firm but velvety tannins.
