| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Charlie C on 2/9/2024 & rated 86 points: Translucent cherry red. Faint, earthy nose. Pleasant fruit on the palate, blueberries, cherries. Bit one-note. Soft tannins, decent acidity, good balance. Finishes moderately long with blue fruits. Nice, but I'd drink up in the next year or two. (258 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 11/14/2021: Black currants, white pepper, garrigue and sweet tobacco lift up from the 2010 Syrah Rosella's Vineyard. This is energetic, spicy and spry, with cool-toned textures giving way to brisk acids mixing with ripe blackberries, savory herbs and a stimulating twang of tangerine. The 2010 keeps the energy high throughout the finish, both cheek-puckering and primary, making for a remarkably fresh and floral-tinged finale. (1319 views) | | | Tasted by jaumealaska on 1/21/2021 & rated 93 points: PnP then drank over two days. Deep purple fully extracted. No brick. Nose is expressive with savory notes, pepper, spice with camphor overlay. Dark fruits with rounded tannins a bright backbone long finish. Drinking great and lots of life left. (520 views) | | | Tasted by rldixon on 12/20/2020 & rated 92 points: I enjoyed this wine over two nights. First night, it took at least an hour for the wine to relax. Substantial weight together with leather and spices were the big impressions. Second night, it was a much rounder wine, with subdued ripe plums and blackberries. (428 views) | | | Tasted by Ed B on 5/31/2019 & rated 91 points: PnP. No detailed notes. Big. Dark. Fairly earthy. Nice spice. Still plenty of time left. (701 views) | | | Tasted by vinole on 9/20/2018 & rated 91 points: PnP at a restaurant, just needed a few minutes in the glass to open up and had very little sediment. Lush blackberry fruit backed up with good structure with some light tar notes on the finish. Thought the true syrah profile comes through nicely. Drinking well now, and should continue for at least 3 more years. (883 views) | | | Tasted by EhrlichDY on 3/20/2018: Classic carlisle syrah with ripe berry fruit and oak spice. Moderate density but overflowing with flavors. Well balanced and just tasty. (1166 views) | | | Tasted by dlduchon on 2/15/2017 & rated 86 points: In a funky period. I would hold for a few years. Tannins are a bit biting at the moment and somewhat disjointed. I do think it may come together with time, but it is speculation. (866 views) | | | Tasted by pakabear on 1/11/2017 & rated 92 points: Similar to last note, dark fruit, meats, cherry, nice balance and acidity. Good right now or hold for 2-3 years. Amazing only 60 cases. (971 views) | | | Tasted by rmanza@comcast.net on 3/23/2016 & rated 88 points: Deep garnet color but a light nose and palate although its great length might indicate better days ahead. Pleasant but borderline disappointing. (992 views) | | | Tasted by Screameagle on 2/21/2016 flawed bottle: Something definitely wrong with this wine but difficult to figure out the defect. Only the second bad bottle of Carlisle I have ever consumed. It was drinkable but not enjoyable. (1064 views) | | | Tasted by rdf58 on 7/13/2015 & rated 92 points: Dark ruby color with a blend of oak and floral (violets?) aromas. This syrah has nice ripeness and richness with good juicy acidity. Plenty of fruit and good structure. It really does taste like a Central Coast wine made in Sonoma. An interesting contrast with the 2010 Bennett Valley from a few nights ago. (869 views) | | | Tasted by pakabear on 5/15/2015 & rated 92 points: Dark fruit, meats with plenty of bacon and like most rosella bottling a orange like flavor on the finish. Incredible rare with only 60 cases, glad to have another bottle. (784 views) | | | Tasted by Martin Redmond on 10/27/2014 & rated 92 points: Dark ruby garnet color with lifted very appealing cherry liquer, white pepper, dried herb and a bit of graphite aromason the palate its medium-bodied,fresh and balanced with supple texture with dark cherry, black raspberry,baking spiced dark cacao flavors. Long finish. Bottled unfiltered and unfined. 14.2% alcohol (1093 views) | | | Tasted by Amerique on 2/12/2013 & rated 92 points: Delicious, medium bodied, blueberry fruit with floral, sweet flavors, excellent structure, long finish (1430 views) |

Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. Rosella's VineyardIn 1996, Gary Franscioni planted the 50-acre Rosella’s Vineyard, named for his wife, on their estate property just 1˝ miles north of Garys’ Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation of Monterey County. We have been sourcing grapes from this vineyard site since 2005 and believe that Rosella’s Vineyard, with Gary Franscioni’s exceptional farming practices, produces a unique wine representing the best of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Santa Lucia Highlands has proven to be a world class appellation, and we are proud to offer a wine from this great vineyard.

Exact position on weinlagen-infoUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
