Red berry nose. Bright berry flavors well balanced and easy drinking. Perfect on a cold rainy day — a month ago
It’s a Zinfandel from Carlisle. What do you expect? One of the top producers of this variety in all of the country.  — 6 months ago
Blackberry vanilla custard nose with some wood spice undertones. Enticing. Great balance of fruit, dried fruit and wood on the palate. Luscious and chewy. Mid life. Craving ribeye. — a month ago
In the running for shocker of the year so far. Not only because of how youthful it was, but in how it cleaned house at a small Syrah tasting with my local group.
I popped this ahead of time to try a glass because I was a bit skeptical of how it would show…my jaw about dropped when I smelled this wine. My goodness…deep and dark florals, violet, stemmy green herbs, black pepper. Wonderfully balanced and integrated on the palate. Whole cluster profile shines through in a supporting role, with the pepper-crusted blackberries, mocha, olive, charcoal. Not rich, not lean, fastball down the middle. Nervy acidity still. This has a cool-climate vibe to it with just a kick of richness to really seduce you. Brilliant. I may have underscored this. — a month ago
Took 30 mins to open but really enjoying the boozy strawberries and fine dusty secondaries and waining structure. Really in an excellent place but I could see 3-5 years of pleasure left to give. Can’t wait for the next glass. — a month ago
Nice big, chewy wine. 2nd half of the bottle still drank nicely 5 days after opening. — 3 months ago
Wow. Just wow. Quite delicious. 15 years young. Mr. Tannin and Mr. fruit still doing their jobs quite well. Carlisle really knows how to make an excellent Zin. no matter what the year.  — 4 months ago
