Carlisle Wine Room
A mature Sonoma Zinfandel, kept in our Commack wine room.
The story behind Carlisle
Zinfandel is California's own red, and single vineyard bottlings like this one show why growers prize it. Papera Ranch sits in Sonoma's Russian River Valley, where old head trained vines give small, concentrated berries. The 2007 vintage was a warm, generous year, and Zinfandel from that era is drinking with real maturity now.
We keep this bottle in our Commack wine room, one of just a couple we stock. It is a library style red for someone who likes a fuller, spicier glass with some age on it.

Which Carlisle is right for you?
The Carlisle Papera Zin 2007 is $64.99 for the 750mL bottle, and we hold only a bottle or two in the shop. That price reflects a mature, single vineyard California red with age on it. Call ahead to confirm availability before you drive over, since stock on this one is thin.
