Saw this at K&L Wines in Hollywood and tried it based on Turley's comments. Darn good stuff.

Score! Zinfandel without the jam. Firm expressions of both red and black fruits with a solid texture and mouthwatering acidity to balance it all out in the end. Well farmed and cared for in the cellar. No nonsense winemaking and Zinfandel that drinks like as a Nobel a red wine as any!

Carlisle Zins are never shy. They do bring a welcome bright vibrant character which balances the powerful blackberry character. There's a spicy lift to the aromatics which adds a layer to this. Excellent with BBQ.

2013 Montafi. Full bodied, ready for some 4th of July BBQ. Carlisle wines have such a silky texture. Love what they do.
