Becoming my fav quaff for Sunday Night Filet, bakers, and classic spinach salad. Dark, inky black in the glass...nice alcohol, acid, fruit balance. Lots of ripe black fruit, touch of bitter stem, and notes of oaky leather/tobacco. 15% is totally invisible. Long finish and pure pleasure.

And Carlisle does it better than most. Dark, juicy, acid-driven, soft and packing enough alcohol to bring a smile. And this very young, screw-topped Dry Creek wine ticks all the boxes. “Crush me! Now!” It cries. Okay. And a bottle is never enough for two. Yummy and guilt-proof.
