Fruit is dissipated but a nice wine with Chili on a winter evening.

Jan 22nd, 2019Have had the pleasure of drinking a few Carlisle Zins the past few years. All have been delicious. Wonderfully made. This 15-year-old is still in near perfect harmony with the tannins and fruits. The continued high-quality from this winery is impressive.

Nov 3rd, 2024Chewy, cloudy, ripe and smooth as a baby’s butt! zoom tasting with Mike Officer. Asian spice and dark berry notes...tannin and alcohol totally integrated. Worked well with teriyaki salmon and pickled cucumbers. Apart from crumbly dry corks... I love my Carlisles with 12-15 years of age. Thanks Mike... for your passion and life spent chasing the dream of old vine fruit!

Apr 30th, 2020Ripe, rich and ready for bucatini with simple pomodoro and meatballs. Just a hint of heat on the finish.

Dec 2nd, 2018What a difference another 3 years has made! Rich, with lush red fruit and a hint of sweet and savory tomato. Really lovely.
