ワインメーカー・ノート
94% Zinfandel
6% Grand Noir
pH: 3.48
T.A.: 0.60 g/100mL
Alcohol: 15.3%
Cases Produced: 228
Planted in 1886, our block of Zinfandel was picked September 20th at 25.0 Brix. A small amount of Grand Noir, a cross of Petit Bouschet and Aramon and a sibling of the teinturier Alicante Bouschet, was included for color and spice. Fully destemmed. A modest twenty-two percent new French oak was used to broaden the palate without adding flavors or aromas of oak (we enjoy flavors and aromas of fruit, not wood). Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting Note: Medium-dark ruby-garnet. With swirling and aeration, a brooding nose of red cherries, orange zest, and chocolate emerges. For some reason, the words “breed” and “class” come to mind when I smell this wine. Delightfully refined on the palate, the wine displays impressive depth and purity in its red and blue fruit flavors. Amazingly well-balanced. You can’t help but feel you’re drinking something quite noble and special. Enjoy from mid-2014 through 2022. (MRO – 01/18/14)

Dense, ripe and structured, with black raspberry, orange zest and red clay aromas, offering zesty flavors of plum, cracked pepper and bitter chocolate. The tannins muscle up on the finish. Drink now through 2021. 228 cases made. –TF

From a famous site planted in 1886, the 2012 Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard is composed of 94% Zinfandel and 6% Grand Noir, and achieved 15.3% natural alcohol. Made with a Pinot Noir-like sensitivity, fully destemmed and to be bottled unfined and unfiltered (as all these wines will be), this lovely, berry-scented 2012 offers notes of loamy soil, pepper, spice, black cherries and black raspberries. It is not the biggest or most concentrated of these 2012s, but it has undeniable elegance. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years.
Carlisle Winery’s Mike Officer and his wife are one of the wonderful stories in the wine world. Going from a part-time home winemaker, to turning out some of his beloved Zinfandels, to becoming one of the two or three leading guardians of old vine Zinfandel in Northern California, Mike Officer was so good at making wine that he changed careers and wine consumers are the beneficiaries. The single vineyard Zins are absolutely remarkable. Everyone who loves Zinfandel should be on Carlisle’s mailing list, the wines are primarily available only from the winery. Sadly, Mike Officer is not making as much Syrah as he used to given the difficult marketplace for this varietal. That’s a shame, as great Syrahs are truly magnificent wines.

- May/June 2014
(includes 6% grand noir; 15.3% alcohol): Opaque purple. Smoky dark berries and floral oils on the deeply perfumed nose. Energetic black and blue fruit aromas are complemented by smoky minerality and a hint of candied licorice. Supple tannins add shape and gentle grip to the plush dark fruit liqueur flavors, which gain spiciness and depth on the finish. This fruit-driven but structured wine should evolve positively for at least another decade.
