Pepper, pure red fruit. What you would expect. I have another glass left and will try on day 3 to see where it is.

My WOTN. I’ve had some Carlisle’s that came across as jammy fruit bombs and this was such a delight. Fruit forward but very well balanced. An excellent showing tonight.

Delicious. So dusty and tannic. Could go so much longer!

Day 3 of this and it keeps getting better. Dusty, dark cherry, light pepper and spice, strong (in a very good way) citrus streak mid-palate, mouthwatering acid, really well made.

Hails from a vineyard planted 123 years ago in Russian River AVA. Intoxicating aroma of boysenberry, vanilla and black pepper. Intense dark fruit flavors and the prototypical Carlisle finish. Still going! 300 case production.

Well made but jammy, overly ripe to my taste. Even for a 2011 that's sat for this long

Makes my knees weak. Young and slightly chewy at first sip, with luscious boysenberry fruit. Better second day and will improve at minimum 3-5 years
