Carlisle Winery, a renowned producer in Sonoma County, is celebrated for its dedication to crafting exceptional Zinfandel wines. The Carlisle Zinfandel Pagani is a testament to this commitment, showcasing the rich heritage of the Pagani Ranch vineyard located in the Sonoma Valley. This wine is predominantly made from Zinfandel grapes, with a small percentage of other varietals like Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet, which add complexity and depth. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by aging in French oak barrels, imparting subtle oak nuances. It boasts a vibrant flavor profile with notes of ripe blackberry, plum, and hints of spice, balanced by a lively acidity and smooth tannins. This Zinfandel pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
