The rating for 2013 Bedrock Wine Co Carlisle Zinfandel Russian River Valley is 91-93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - From Mike Officer’s estate home vineyard (which has over 40 different varietals planted – amazing in an era where marketing “geniuses” advise monovarietal wines), the 2013 Zinfandel Carlisle is a big, spicy, meaty, Mediterranean-styled wine (350 cases produced). Full-bodied with lots of raspberry, blackberry and currant fruit, terrific intensity, a multidimensional texture, and an opulent finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 4-6 years. The rating for 2013 Bevan Cellars Red Napa Valley Ontogeny is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The deep garnet colored 2013 Ontogeny Red Wine is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It explodes from the glass with bombastic Chinese five spice and hoisin scents over a core of preserved plums, boysenberries and blackcurrant pastilles plus hints of woodsmoke, iron ore and tobacco leaf. The rich, densely packed, full-bodied palate delivers bags of black fruit preserves with a well-played backbone of freshness and soft texture, finishing long and layered. 590 cases were made.
