The 2020 Zinfandel Rossi Ranch, from a site planted in 1910, is one of the successes of the vintage at Carlisle. This warm, early ripening site yielded an exuberant Zinfandel that captures the best the vintage had to offer. Super-ripe red berry fruit, rose petal, mint, hard candy and orange peel race across the palate and into the substantial finish. The Rossi Ranch is simply compelling. Dollops of Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and Grand Noir round out the blend.
