Martinelli Road Vineyard Zinfandel

Another 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.
Red of the day for me. Kept going back and forth between zin or Pinot. Great restraint here. A luscious wine. Blue and black fruits, vanilla, French bread. Gorgeous aromatics!

18.5/20 (96/100) Неожиданно, это вино стало безусловным фаворитом дегустации «Зинфандель и Примитиво». Глубокий, многогранный аромат с нотами черничного варенья, шоколада и многообразных пряностей. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе с продолжительным послевкусием. Фантастика!

Waves of sweet, black fruits and Fall baking spices coupled with leather and tobacco wash from the glass. A touch of alcohol heat, but tempered with sweet pomegranate and black cherry fruit. Long, smooth finish goes on and on with a hint of smooth, supple tannin. Perfect dinner companion for inch thick pork chop and beef-braised pasta. Thoroughly convinced that aged Carlisle Zins are ultimate food companions!

A touch sweeter and less complex than the other single vineyard Carlisle zins I've had, but still very good. Best after an hour or so to stretch out. It received an "ooh, I like this" from my wife.

Wanted to try one bottle before we wait for the rest. So smooth and nuanced.
