Reviews from Wine Advocate below:
Hayne Vineyard: "Another addition to the lineup, the 2011 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard is laced with expressive dark fruit, smoke, tar, licorice and cedar. Plush, deep, and beautifully balanced, the 2011 finishes with a gorgeous burst of blue and black fruit, violets, graphite and asphalt buttressed by vibrant minerality. This is going to be a fascinating wine to check on once it is in bottle. Originally planted in 1903, Hayne is one of California’s heritage, old-vine sites. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021. 92-94 Points."
Dupratt Vineyard: "Carlisle’s 2011 Zinfandel Du Pratt Vineyard, from a site planted in 1920, is endowed with striking inner perfume. Layers of blue and black fruit, cloves, mint, violets and graphite come alive in the glass. Plush, deep and sensual, the Du Pratt is showing beautifully today. Layers of dark, meaty fruit flow through to the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. 92-94 Points."
