2012 カーライル ジンファンデル ドライ・クリーク・バレー
2012 Carlisle Winery Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley
ワインメーカー・ノート
57% Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Teldeschi Ranch
30% Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, Mounts Ranch
13% Dry Creek Valley Petite Sirah, Del Carlo Ranch
pH: 3.66
T.A.: 0.61 g/100mL
Alcohol: 15.6%
Cases Produced: 350
Year after year we find that the powerful, well-structured Zinfandel of Ray Teldeschi’s ranch (planted c. 1890) blends perfectly with the more Rubenesque Zinfandel of Rich Mounts’ ranch (planted c. 1950) across the valley. 2012 was no exception. Throw in 13% Del Carlo Ranch Petite Sirah (from the northern end of the valley) for volume and texture and you have a classic Dry Creek Zinfandel, displaying all the best attributes of the appellation. Lightly fined with half an egg white per barrel to polish the palate but bottled unfiltered.
Tasting Note: Medium-dark ruby-red. Explosive, hi-toned aromas of red cherry and raspberry with subtle notes of candied flowers and iron-laced earth. Quite seductive on entry, flavors of cherry and earth dance across the palate towards the spice and fruit-filled finish. An incredibly harmonious and balanced wine with outstanding precision and focus. For my palate, Dry Creek Zinfandel doesn’t get much better than this. Enjoy from release through 2021.

"The 2012 Zinfandel Dry Creek comes from three separate old vine vineyards, one planted in 1890 and the youngest planted in 1950. A blockbuster at 15.6% natural alcohol, it offers loads of black raspberry and black cherry fruit interwoven with bouquet garni and earthy notes. This attractive, full-bodied, surprisingly finesse-styled Zinfandel demonstrates the magic of the self-trained winemaker, Mike Officer.
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."

"(includes 13% petite sirah): Opaque ruby. High-pitched red and blue fruit scents are complicated by a dusty mineral quality, with a hint of succulent herbs adding complexity. Offers vibrant black raspberry and boysenberry flavors plus hints of licorice and bitter chocolate. Structured but not at all hard, finishing with excellent clarity, thrust and persistence. (6/2014) "
