Might be the most backward of the carlisle vineyards recently. This vintage is still extremely young and the wine takes several hours to open and an initial raisin note blows off. It eventually reveals a wine that is light in texture but full of depth. This claret like wine is made up of over a dozen different grapes and it seems each one takes a turn showing its character in this wine. It’s a beauty but one that wont truly be ready for at least another 5 years.
