2019 Carlisle Syrah Radiant Ridge

Typical northern Rhône Syrah nose. Lip smacking ripe blackberry balanced by serious bacon fat. Body is lighter than expected, but wine is absolutely delicious and showing very well.

Nose of black raspberry, apple blossoms and a slight meaty hot dog note. Polished palate delivers a mouthful of blackberry pie, blueberry, vanilla crème, wet teabag, and tree bark. Chewy, supple tannins deliver a dry finish with birch bark, ginger root, black raspberry, and firm, fat oakiness. I'd like to give the finish a littler more time to develop. Drink 2025-2031

4/11/2024 - VAGenius Likes this wine: 92 points

Nose of black cherry, coffee bean, cola, and oak. Layers of ripe fleshy black plum and black cherry roll across the palate followed by a lift of acidity and redder fruit. Thick line of tannins on the finish with loads of leather, more fleshy plum, and a quick cherry note before the oak roars back on a long finish. Missing just a bit of zest.

Quick decant. Polished nose of blueberry and violets is quite focused. Blackberry and blueberry palate is lush and vibrant with lots of energy. Strong but smooth tannins on the finish with red berries, cherry, tart acidity and forest floor.

Nice and juicy! Much improved from my last bottle consumed years ago -- not as rustic.

Dark red at the core, fading to the edges. Anise and cherries on the nose. Still soft on the palate, blackberry, cherry, roast meat. Fine tannins, nice acidity, good balance. Finishes long and bright with cherry liqueur notes. Still very nice but on the downhill trek. Drink up.

Bright purple-red color with slight translucence. Spicy, blackberry nose. Deeply flavored on the palate, big blackberry fruit, hint of raspberry, anise. Firm tannins, bright acidity, good balance. Finishes moderately long with bramble fruits and spice. There is a touch of heat (15% ABV). Classic Zin. Drink next 3 years.

Drank 1-3 hours after pulling (broken) cork. Tasty PS that reminds me why I was happy to pay $30 for this 13 years ago… understanding that I would have to wait for it. Love having something like this to enjoy as a change of pace vs a CS when grilling. No need to wait, but do give it a little air.

Wine Rating Methodology
96-100: One of the most enjoyable wines I have ever tasted. I would not hesitate to open this wine for any Master of Wine.
91-95: Extremely enjoyable wine that I would drink and buy again. Fantastic to open up for those who appreciate wine.
85-90: Decent to good wine. Weekday bottle you don’t feel guilty about not finishing.
Below 85: would not drink or buy again.
***Price of wine vs. enjoyment (value) is taken into consideration
***I do not provide tasting notes as everyone’s palate is different, and will have a different experience.

This is a deep violet colored wine. The nose is expressive with raspberry and sagebrush. The wine is fruit forward on the palate with raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, and peach. The body is rich and the consistency is silky, and it all comes together with a persistent finish. Overall this is a good varietal wine with fine tannins. This particular Carlisle vineyard is among my four favorites along with Bedrock, Mancini, and Saitone.

Crimson in color. 15% ABV. Sublime nose of red and black fruits, baking spices and earth. Medium body with just enough acidity. Cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and pepper on the palate. The finish is long and supple. Delicious Zinfandel that is ready to drink. Best over the next year or so.

2019 Carlisle Zinfandel Papera Ranch

4/7/2024 - PMTinfv Likes this wine: 95 points

Decanted and let breath for 3 1/2 hours. This is the most delicate Papera I’ve ever had…elegant and graceful with citrus and blackberry berry and subtle blueberry. Nose is mostly blackberry. I’m timed the how long the finish lasted after a some mouth swirl…25 seconds! Wow…just a beautiful wine…careful with food pairings as I think heavy food will likely overpower it. Years of life ahead in the cellar but great now as well!
