Classic Dry Creek profile of bright fruit, refreshing acidity, and fine tannins. This paired very well with my Szechuan dry chili chicken!

Not Carlisle's best wine, still young and good in a tough vintage but preferred the county blend

Red berry nose. Bright berry flavors well balanced and easy drinking. Perfect on a cold rainy day

I found this more full-bodied than AG did, and more on the blue side of the spectrum. Very polished, rich, and engaging. An incredibly versatile food wine.

Black raspberry and spice on the nose and palate. Nice expression of a Dry Creek Valley Zin.
