2011 Carlisle Winery Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley:  A more compact personality emerges from the 2011 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley.  Iron, red berries, smoke and tobacco all make an appearance, but it is the wine's energy and thrust that speak loudest.  

2013 Epoch Veracity Proprietary Red:  Another sensational red is the 2013 Veracity Proprietary Red, which is mostly Grenache blended with 34% Mourvedre and 17% Syrah.  Aged in 32% new barrels, its ruby color is followed by classic notes of black raspberries, toasted spice, dried flowers and hints of pepper.  Full-bodied, supple, and polished, with no hard edges and a seamless texture.
