Always one of the strongest efforts in this portfolio, the 2004 Zinfandel Tom Feeney Ranch is a blend of 91% Zinfandel and the rest Alicante Bouchet and Petite Sirah. It boasts a dense ruby/purple hue, fabulous balance, no jagged edges, and oodles of briery blackberry fruit intermixed with lavender, vanillin, and spice box. Like all these wines, it possesses a sensational texture as well as a mouthfilling richness. Readers should not hesitate to get on Carlisle’s mailing list before the world discovers what compelling beverages are being produced here.Previously recommended: 2003 Petite Sirah (94+), 2003 Syrah Bennett Valley (95), 2003 Syrah Pelkan Ranch (93), 2003 Two Acres (94), 2003 Zinfandel Dry Creek (91), 2003 Zinfandel Sonoma County (91), 2003 Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard (93), 2003 Zinfandel Fava Ranch (92), 2003 Zinfandel Riebli Ranch (90), 2003 Zinfandel Rossi Ranch (94), 2003 Zinfandel Tom Feeney Ranch (95).Tel.
