Semillon, muscadelle, colombard and palomino from old vines. Distinctive and full of interest and character, even when consumed from plastic cups while laying in the grass.

Might be a smidgen past its prime. However, still drank pretty decently. This may be my first wine to include the grape Palomino. I always thought it was a horse. Carlisle known for its Zins primarily put together a really interesting blend. Glad I tried it.

Minerality citrus oak apple weighty behemoth. Not quite as balanced as it should be but an interesting offering.
