  July 12, 2018 - Mature. Smothed out, good length, pleasurable, and (I'm pretty sure) it's time to drink up.

  February 20, 2016 - To go with a cassoulet I my oldest Carlisle in the cellar. Had high expectations as I really enjoyed past bottles of the '01 and '02 of this wine (mostly Unti fruit if I recall correctly) and this one delivered. Great diversity of flavors, black core but not a heavy mouthfeel. Dusty tannins, some grip, but a deft deep floral entry that then leads to dark blue and black fruits. Very good stuff.

  December 15, 2013 - What an amazing bottle of wine. Great fruit still popping through this medium bodied, inky purple wine. All the rough edges are gone at 11 years old, with just a hint of cedary cigar box peeking through from the age. Threw off a lot of sediment. Paired exceptionally well with spicy sausage and peppers over cheese filled tortellini. I can't wait to enjoy my one last bottle.

  July 23, 2012 - Very smooth for a petite sirah. Blueberry and boysenberry fruit, with chocaolate notes and a solid structure and supple mouthfeel feel. Not a huge fan of PS, but this was about as good as it gets for the varietal.

  June 1, 2012 - A huge nose of dark sweet fruit, dark black in color. A full bodied and rich Petite Sirah, with blueberry, blackberry, chocolate dust, layers of favor, a good kind of sweet long finish. A great wine, worth every cent.
